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.

Cool deal. The car came cammed and it was a .588 lift i think... I didn't know that ls6 springs would support that much lift.

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?
