This looks like the guy who owned it heated up the factory springs to lower it. Based on the pictures is that what you guys make of this mess?

By dead coil you just mean they're shot? They look like they where heated up intentionally to lower the car hence the the array of shades on the springs.

They don't look like stock space, def look like aftermarket rusted and has dead coils which means it's a coil that doesn't help with the ride or handling

In the front the top of the coils is rusted, the only way I can make sense of that is the heat t ransfered from heating up the springs heated up the whole coil, and caused premature rusting. Sigh...

They arent stock. Look like the ebay megan racing ones by that color.
Also looks like they have been heater or fatigued and are collapsed.

Could you show a picture of your springs tuned08ss? It just doesn't look right the way they're all collapsed, and bound up.
