Front Wheel Gap on S14

[Krunko]

Yesterday I noticed that my front tires have a large wheel gap.  I've been trying to figure out over that past two days if I just NOW noticed this...or if something is up with my shocks or springs that made the gap larger over the last week or so.

Is this possible?  Can bad shocks or any other suspension parts make your front wheel gap (on both sides evenly) larger?  Maybe I just never realized we have a huge gap there.  It is definately larger then the back wheel gap because I used an object as reference to check.

Also, I have another question.  I've ordered my eibach prokit to lower my car.  I have stock shocks.  My car has 62k on it, and I was wondering at what milage do stock shocks start getting kind of crappy.  How much longer would it take to put the shocks on there while I am putting my springs on?  If I got shocks I'd only want to spend around $300...proabbly no more then $350 for shocks.  Can I get good shocks for that much?  Thanks guys.
