    Identify these springs

    What are these?

    I've also attached a couple pics of the car so you can see the ride height.

      That was the initial guess of the people I talked to already, but the writing is white instead of yellow. Not sure if they made versions with white writing as well.

        My guess would be Vogtland.

        '91 318is - OBD-II S52 swapped - E30 M3 5-lug - 5x120 BBS RC090 (E39 Style 5) - TCK D/A coilovers 550/700 [SOLD]
        '87 535i - Vacuum brake conversion [SOLD]
        '93 525iT - 5-speed swap - 320k and counting
        '09 328xi - 6-speed

          Looking at the Vogtland colors, I think that's the closest guess so far. If they are, how much is a used set worth? This is too low for me.

            I just looked closer, they say ATW BMW then have a bunch of other numbers. The rear struts are marked BMW, look BMW, have a roundel, and I believe they may have a part number (going to look in a second). The front springs are obviously not stock, but they're black and rusted with no obvious identifying marks.

                  I'm surprised nobody knows. Google doesn't return any results when I search for ATW BMW either :(

                    So the rear struts are OEM, Sachs. The full text on the rear springs is "ATW pass f. BMW 3/1 HA 701013". I sure hope that doesn't mean someone put what's supposed to be a front passenger spring on the rear driver side corner!

                      Front and rear springs are totally different. Those are rear springs on the back of the car.

                              Could these be OEM? That's crazy that they're paired with OEM struts...
