Blown struts would be a possibility, if they are indeed blown you will lose about 1/2" or so ride height because of the lack of gas charge, and also be a little more subject to bottoming out or getting close to it over bumps.
Yes, ET45. I had read there should be no issues, which is why I am wondering about the suspension. It's hard to tell if my suspension is worn, because I DD the car, so it would have been a slow degradation over time, and hard to notice. Kinda like the frog in boiling water.

That said, lately I feel like it is softer and mushier that I recall it being "back in the day". Like I said, 80k miles and six years of hard street driving (on shitty New England pothole-laden roads) has probably taken its toll.
