not a bad idea, unless you know how old those ones are, mine have shiny black paint on them still and its a little saggy in the ***.

At this point, I'd wait until the car is together and you see how it sits and handles. I have used 45 year old springs that were fine. I have had special applications where I wanted a different height or spring rate, and it is hard enough to pick the correct springs after seeing how it behaves with something else. Now, if you have some special purpose, I could make a suggestion now. If stock is what you want, the old springs may be fine.
