Yet another thread to help identify springs

I searched all the other threads already and looked online, but I can't find what these springs are, there are also no markings on them.
The springs seem to be powdercoated like a metallic gray of some sort. I can't find anyone selling springs that are gray in color, sure its possible this has been done after the fact, but maybe someone knows?
thanks in advance!

ST parts tend to be gray. I have their front/rear sway bars in gray.

Thanks Jared,
When I spoke with him I thought they were RB or something, anyway when I was looking at ST springs, as I thought they were it, it seemed that ST were black...

In any event, this answers my question, thanks to everyone!

Good find. I have the Eibachs on the widebody and they're a much better riding spring than the RBs I have on the FC.

Just because they list them, doesn't mean they can get them in still. Alot of websites aren't up to date. When I tried getting mine, I called up every company that had them listed, even all the companies on ebay, and nobody could get them in. They don't realize that they're NLA until they try to order one and then they take them off.

I snagged a set that was extremely dusty, but brand new and was told its pretty much the last in North America. I really did go through hell to try to get my hands on a set, but it was worth it in the end.
