I think my rear springs are shot

I thought it was my struts that were shot, but it seems to be my springs that were bad, but I put in new GR2's all the way around. I am on a budget right now so what would be a good low cost alternative for me?

Get some springs from the wreckers.

Or get some new or used lowering springs, they are like 200 or less.. KYB gr2's have lifetime warranties on em EVEN if you have normal lowering springs, so if you blow one you can get it replaced.

These springs are decent

could you guys tell me what cars I can get my rear spring out of? I am planning a junkyard run and I would like something stiffer, I'm not looking for lowering right now, I just want something stiff. I was thinking escort wagon? Or an escort LX? Any mazdas? What about ZX2 stock rears? I would like my car to sit slightly higher in the rear, I just like it that way, kinda like old school cars.

ZX2 springs raised my car about an inch.

sweet, how much stiffer are they? I'd like a stiffer ride, my car hits way too hard as it is. I'd be using them with GR2's.

They seemed a little stiffer, but I don't know so much. I've only ridden these springs and stock ones.
