          Damn, you could at least clean them so we can read the writing. Only springs I know of that are that color are Dinan (maybe darker blue) and Suspension Techniques or old H&R sports but who knows.

            Oh I forgot about Suspension Techniques. Good thinking!

              The blue H&Rs are for euro cab and iXs. Those you posted are BMP branded (you could see the BMP markings) H&R sports. Most likely the same as regular H&R sports but sold by BMP, hence the blue color.

              The difference between the blue cab/iX springs and the 50406 H&R sports is that the blue springs don't have the engineered sag in the middle springs, ie., the middle springs don't compress and touch like the 50406s.

              Here is pic of the cab/iX rear springs compared to a 50406 H&R sport spring (the two on the right).



              Here is a pic of the 50406s under the weight of a car, showing how the middle springs touch



              I don't have a pic of the blue cab/iX springs under load, but you can tell by looking at the comparison pic that the middle springs have a bigger diameter, so they don't compress as much. Plus, the blues are shorter.

                  I say old Bilstein made by H&R. The only light blue that I remember. Dinan are painted, not powder coated and look pretty crappy. Regular H & R are darker blue.

                  By the way, every spring looks nice and low when its on a cabriolet.
