I mention stock pieces because it would probably be cheaper to buy a whole set of springs and struts off a junked car. And you wouldn't have to be concerned with camber adjustments, which were most likely made when your superlow gangster boy springs were put on.
Yeah, you need to know what is under there first.
1. If it is somewhat rigid bumpy it may be lowered w/springs and struts.
2. If is it wavy bumpy it may have been lowered w/springs only.
3. If it is warpath bumpy the springs may be cut on stock struts or lowered way too low w/cheap coilovers.

To raise the car back up after you determine what you have, you'll need the stock springs. You'll find more aftermarket lowering springs as opposed to aftermarket raising springs.
