    Identify these coil springs, pretty sure H&R sports, e34

    I looked closer at the springs on my 1990 535i and these do not look like stock.

    My H&R sports in the e30 are blue, but I have seen pics of this metallic grey. Couldn't see any markings on them.

    What are these?

    I thought the car was stock with worn out springs at 270k miles.

    I was looking at different lowering springs on ebay and "stagg" which is a super cheap brand is a sparkly metallic grey like these springs look.

    I'm trying to make this thing handle good and I thought it was all in the shocks but its actually the front upper control arm ball joint and rear sub frame bushings and trailing arm dog bones are F'ed.

    I already ordered the H&R sports so I guess I will see what they really look like.

    I just ordered from fcp euro. These are the things I found really worn out by prying on everything with a big ass pry bar.
    Total $208.12

    All this should get this thing handling on track.

    Now just need a lightweight flywheel and clutch to hold power and I will be happy! For a minute.....

    ???

    There should be markings somewhere right? So I guess when take the strut out I will clean the coil up real good and see.

    I think unless they are h&r im gobna replace them anyway. I guess eibach would be ok too.
