I had a 1990 Olds Cutlass with Coils all around. From the back it looked like
it was sagging. Two new front springs later all was fixed. I haven't gotten to
the front end on my BGT yet, but, the PO seems to have wedged blocks in the
front spring coils. I assume the car was sagging. When it is front end time
I'll take the blocks out before I replace the springs and see if it sags.
