LOGIE Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 As per title. Can anyone hazard an educated guess as to what these back breaking springs these are on the left. Stock are on right. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 I know all springs look similar but some are easier to tell than others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 You're guess could be right, they look like Rusty Backbreaker springs?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOGIE Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 I think they may have been cusco but was never sure. I bought them off keron years ago on yellow bilsteins. VERY FIRM if I hit a pothole/gap on a bend in the road I'd just lose traction and nearly bounce off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 These are Eibach springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) These are Eibach springs They look a pretty good match Dunk. Eibachs are supposed to be great springs though..so I doubt these are them. I had them on yellow bilsteins are the ride was back breaking.

Chris Wilson Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 They look like Eibach's to me, too. Wire diameter, number of effective coils, length, all look similar, and rate will be similar, even if they are not Eibachs. Personally I think Eibachs on Bilstein Sports run the car a bit too low, but on "Made under licence by Toyota" optional OE Bilsteins they give a reasonable height and are not particularly harsh. I can measure spring rates in house if anyone is keen enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) They look nothing like, you lot must be pants at snap. Edit, I was looking at Mr boomerangs "Eibach's". Edited August 14, 2015 by David P (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOGIE Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) These are Eibach springs Out of interest Dunk, what struts are those? I can't recall ever seeing red struts apart from REAS.

I found them looking to compare the springs you posted so nothing I've used. They are KYB dampers according to the seller on Supraforums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
