Do you have any idea how many miles are on the springs?

For the price, you might be better off buying a new set and ensuring better
performance.

If you plan to use them anyway, them tested for pressure at the install height
and open pressure you need.

Green on the springs? GM springs were natural, blue or yellow. I know of none that came with green.

They must be aftermarket, I don't know who used green on their springs though.
