Superfast lowering spring wear?

Hello.

I have this question.


First, i mounted my brand new Lowering springs (H&R) 35mm, to my car.
The car had old shocks but i decided to keep using them until i got money for new shocks.

After 1 month the shocks wore. Leaking and working bad.
I had to drive with them for another 8 weeks until i got new shocks to replace.



So when i finally got my new shocks (Bilstein) and mounted the springs, the rear of my car where the worn shocks were feels soft and swaying. its like its so close to bottoming out sometimes over bumps.


The total time used on the brand new springs were only 3 months, BUT were used on worn shocks.

Using new springs on worn shocks, will that age my springs faster?

Could this be a coincidence that my springs are worn already?
