Default Springs On Z71

I was wondering why my 2006 Z71 does not have springs in the front? And if it does excuse my stupidity. I looked but couldnt find them. Im hoping they dont cuz my buddy and I have a $100 bet and I said it doesnt.

Um, you have torsion bars for front springs, the 2 wheel drive models have coil springs.
