If it had an adjustable assembly under it, its a coil over. Looks like some of the spring is missing. Probably an ebay lowering spring.

Its not a coil over the car still has struts .. none of the spring is missing it just broke in half ..

They look like e-bay cheapo springs.
Which is probably why it broke like that.
I would run OEM springs before I put another set of those on.

There are several blue springs (e.g., Swifts) but they don't break. Odds are, they are eBays, as suggested above, and should all be replaced with something safe and functional.

Obviously they are low quality springs.
