The springs are the correct style, but are old and tired and not strong enough to hold the weight of the car level, or they wanted to raise the back for tire clearance or appearance, so someone prior put those risers under them.

A better idea of what you have and what you want to do would help. A profile pic of the car and it's stance would be good.

Default coil springs

going back all stock original I guess we can try to remove the spacers and see if the car will have a better level stance this is how the car looked before taking it all apart for its restoration

Yep, all jacked up for tires and appearance. Removing the risers will drop it the same amount and it may sit too low then. New springs to correct that are cheap and readily available, once you get to that point...
