Default Springs go bad?

Is it possible for springs to go out? I'm running Eibach pro-kit, recently(a few months ago) i started noticing a creak from the right rear when i would hit bigger dips in the road. Replaced the shocks a couple weeks ago and it didn't go away. It happens alot less though.

Yes, all springs (no matter what size or what they are installed in) go bad. However; unless you are seriously racing your car, its unlikely that yours are broken.

The squeaking is probably from a bad mount or bushing.
