Spider Springs.. when to replace?

["joel lewis" <loosej89@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 When I followed my son, who was driving the '82 spider,  sparks would come 
out from under the car at 70 MPH when he hit dips in the road.  When we got 
back home and lifted the car, the drain plug had been ground  down into a 
wedge.  That seemed like a pretty good indication that we needed new 
springs.  This was in the year 2000, so the springs were 18 years old at 
this point.  IAP street/ performance springs were shorter and lowered the 
car a bit but it no longer scrapes at high speed dips in the road.
