Is this normal???

I recently bought a 1989 Formula 350 Firebird with the WS6 suspension package. I had the car on a lift yesterday and noticed there are airbags in the front coil springs. Is this the way they came or is this aftermarket?

no idea, they usually would go in the rear, typically for drag racing to help tune the chassis. I would take them out personally.
