what springs do I have

[68442]

My gsx has some type of lowering springs in it. I want to get some stockers, but I'd like to know whats in it now. Is there part #s listed on most? Perhaps a brand name?

Pics? Color?

I just managed to get the car jacked up. They appear to be either pink or faded red.

Almost all spring manufacturers "mark" their springs one way or another. Most use their own special color to offer a distinction. Eibach and Megan print the part numbers on the coil. Hyperco engraves on the flat of the coil.

Check it for a part number, or manufacturer name/logo. It also wouldn't hurt to snap a picture and show us.

Faded red could be a set of Eibach Sportlines or Skunk's.

Heres a pic. I have to buy a pair of stock ones before I tear these out.

Looks like it could be a Sportline. The upper control arms is blocking the area that the part number would be printed on though.

Is the 1.4" drop enough to hose the front tires and mess up toe and camber. Plus does 1.4 inch drop a car so you have like 2 inchs of ground clearance?

Thanks!

my guess is the car was lowered and never taken in to get an alignment. Camber does not kill tires (as much), but toe will wear your tires fast. I would advise an alignment.
