Default What Springs are these...?
These valve springs were on the car when I bought it. Looks like old style 918s...

Any help would be much appreciated!!!

918s had green stripes (Old) and then Blue
These look more like LS6 springs

Looks like a GM spring.

Like predator said, it's not a 918.

if indeed they are LS6, .588 lift could be handled for awhile with the light valves, but they wouldn't live long.
Were they shimmed?

Nope. Don't think so.
