    how to find the manufacturer and spring rate

    My car obviously has after market springs.

    But what brand are they and what is the rate?

    The PO put on shocks from les schwaub, and often went to les schwaub, anyone have any idea what springs they carry?

    Ill show you a picture but the springs are black. It is very slightly lowered in the back, barely in the front. Basically similar to almost all after market springs.

    Is the spring rate written anywhere?

    Is there anyone who thinks they could tell from a picture of the cars stance?

      where would the writing be?

      well then my only clue is to see what kind of springs les schwaub carries.

      Ok well les schwaub carries EIBACH springs.

      Are the spring rates of eibach springs written anywhere on the spring? Are eibach springs also just a generic black?
