Hmmm it almost looks like an Eibach spring but not sure. Or maybe it could be these MaxTrac ones that you mention. Do you how tall the springs are exactly?

And on the Shocks it has ( N15 141 )

Thank you all again for the help

HCI2000SS ,

They're measuring right at about 13 1/2"

I don't know what those are, but they aren't for a 4th gen. Nobody else noticed that?

What kind of car do you have? And where did you get those?

Sam Strano ,

I bought them at an estate sale

I am thinking they may be for a Truck ?

Is there anyway to tell what type of car they would go with ?

Thank you

If you can find the part number and brand you can probably figure it out. But I couldn't tell you. No idea what those are.

Sam Strano,

The only " Markings " on them are :

It does have the following on the Springs ( 01 29 15 YR 8207 )

And on the Shocks it has ( N15 141 )

Does this help any ?

Not without a brand, not in the least. I'm sure they are some cheap Chinese thing like Stagg or something given the lack of any indentifying brand markings.

Sam Strano ,

What would you say I might could sell them for ( the 2 springs + the 2 Shocks ) assuming they are Stagg or a brand like it ?

Thank you for all of your help

They are worthless if you don't know what they are. How are you going to sell them? To who?

That is not for a 4th gen front end. Four bolts on top and two on the bottom. They look like Unity Struts, which are junk.

They look like cheap replacement crap for some random import. Without knowing what they are for, they are scrap metal. Likely only worth a $100 Bill if you know what car they belong to.

No idea about your original question. You were considering putting random parts that don't fit on your car?

Regardless looks like a Toyota coilover. See the image below, 2007 Tacoma.

Maxtrac makes lift kits and stuff... so maybe these were part of the kit or take-offs... who knows.
