Ok, I have no idea what these are. They were on the car when I got it. The car rides much lower than a stock car, and I never felt that the car rode soft like some E30 318's obviously do.

They are black, and the corrosion has taken any markings away. They were coupled with Bilsteins.

What is a good way to tell?

My H&R were black, too. I think the ST ones I had in a box once were black too. I guess you can start narrowing it down by its length and whether its progressive or not. You're in luck if it is, b/c AFAIK there aren't that many that make progressive springs for our application. Probably would help if you know the compression rate - but I know thats not viable w/ no markings.

My S/T bars were a graphite color. My stock bars are black. What diameter are the bars, Mayan?

The rear sway is 5/8" diameter.

Th front is 7/8" diameter.
