Ok thanks. I can't read the writing in the pic. And the car has bilstein shocks on it so I am leaning toward the car being lowered.

A quick search shows they are eibach. According to jegs they are replacement springs. Seach that number on this board and see what you find. Also post a pic of your car so we can see the ride height.

Yeah...looks like it says Eibach 3870.001. Those rims insult the word nasty. Wow!

I just pulled my stock springs off to put on Stranos.
Yours appear different than my stocks in that 1) they look thicker (more like an after market) and 2) my stocks don't have any lettering on them like yours.

A clue would be your ride height. Stock is 27" to 27.5"
