Default Identifying Valve Springs

These were sold to me as 918 springs, obviously not... Help find what these are so I can find them a home! I am out $150 and need to get rid of them. Someone said they COULD be 03+ LS6 springs, but I'm not sure, they have an orange stripe.



Hope you guys can help!

Tony

I just need to make damn sure, so when I attempt to sell them again, they really are what they are described as... My reputation means a lot to me, want to be as honest as possible. Thanks for the response Predator...

Also, what is a reasonable price to ask for these springs since they do not appear to be used at all.

I dont see a blue stripe on them...thats not a good sign. The early batch of 918's had a few flawed sets that broke. But yes, they are beehive 918s, the box # says 216918

I see that on the box... I know they're supposed to have the blue stripe, that's already been realized. I guess I'll need to check the spring pressures and report back, I need these gone.
