Hey guys, I got a 2nd hand set of rear springs with a bunch of other parts and I am hoping to identify. The springs were of a US car which appeared to have original ride height but when measured against a set of original springs they are about 25mm shorter and have a one less turn They are black with two green painted identifying marks on each spring. Any ideas what brand they may be and as I meentioned, they are shorter but the car they came off seemed to sit at normal height.

 

It's possible they're SE springs, which had slightly lower ride height (~1/2"), but generally the same dimensions. The SE in 84/85 also had stiffer springs to go along with the wider tires with lower profile on 14" wheels, which might explain the missing coil. I no longer have a set to compare against, but if they look OEM, that's my guess. Most aftermarket springs have been powder coated various colors for better corrosion resistance.

 

Thanks for that, they do seem powder coated but the two identifying marks are bushed on so may be not. I will fit them and see the height.
