Springs......
Well I'm trying to find some stock springs for sale and decied to take a peek at what type of lowering springs are on the car now. But they don't look aftermarket. The rust kind of gives it away. I think they might be stock cut springs.

If they are stock that will **** me off because look what the fender did to my tire.
Is that even repairable?

Looks like you have a two-fold problem. Old, sagging springs combined with the wrong wheel offset or too-wide wheels. A newer set of springs, be they stock replacements, or "Lowering" springs will help to lift the car back up. The tires protruding beyond the fenders will always cause clearance issues.

Measure the distance from the ground to center high point of the wheel well. Fresh lowering springs whould put that measurement at approximately 24" with stock tires and wheels. Rogue's right, offset looks wrong, post a pic of the wheels and the fender clearence, front and rear, along with the tire/wheel size.

I measured the left and right front. It seems like it was barely 23" without any person in the car. When you throw my fat *** in there it properly comes down another 1" The tire size is 195/60R14 86H . The wheel size is 15" not sure on off set but their are koing rewinds.

Ummmm, 195/60/14 tires on 15" rims, just double check that.
Also, I have a set of springs, front and rear I believe, that you can have as well, just pay shipping. Maybe between two or three sets, find the least sagging, and use them. am in zip 31525.
