springs??????

i have a issue with my front coil springs i have a dual shock setup and they are weak and im in need of new ones but no auto parts store has em or cant order them either, so i was wondering if a single shock setup coil spring will work just the same, or are the springs different?

Very common just to use a single shock.
I forget whether you leave the one in front or behind the shock out though.
I think keep the front, and do away with the rear.
spring is the same for a single shock or dual shock setup.

I believe the springs are the same, single or dual shocks.
