That's because OEM was a complete unit. not sold seperately.

Well it is hard to help since you didn't say what kind of car it is, but a set of coilovers, Aftermarket springs and struts, or OE replacements from your local Napa or Autozone would be pretty simple solution.
I would be replacing the struts, if the springs gave way, the struts have taken a beating most likely. No telling what the previous owner did to them or how long they will last.

So you created a account to ask that question?

Well angel I really don't see where or why it matters if I did or not join to post that question is no concern to you. The car is 92..s13. The guy used some kind of aftermarket strut. I finally found the factory specs on the suspension. I've completely rebuilt the engine...parts were readily avaliable for that...but suspension is a different story.

You completely rebuilt an engine and can't source springs?
Anyways, I would go Tien for aftermarket. Small drop and still very comfortable.

I would go with a set of used coilovers.
