Coil Springs???

Hi, I searched for awhile but didn't find exactly what I was looking for. Anyway I just purchased an 85 firebird and in the process of rebuilding it I notice it doesn't have coil springs in the front or rear.

Re: Coil Springs???

Does it have ANY springs at all? Because yes. They came with coils from & rear and the car is useless without them.
