What kind of springs are these?

I don't have any pics yet, but I found some lowering springs on a wrecked maxima here that are nice and in great shape. There are also Tokico blues with them! All for the low low price of $30!

Anyway, the springs are kindof a turquoise/blue color, like the tokicos but a little more turquoise than that. Ring a bell to anyone? I don't really car what brand they are, for that price I will use them, I would just like to know. Thanks!

If they are blue, real blue, no green, then they are sprints...

Your progress springs are cut? Just the front ones? Why?

I wanted them cut to possibly level out the ride (since they are 1.7" front and 1.5" rear). I dont know if it made a huge difference but the rear sits a little lower...which I prefer over a "Rake" look.

I see! Was the progress not low enough? Did you just cut the front? Did ride quality suffer? Any drawbacks to it? How much did you cut? Need mas info!

Well I didnt know how it rode before they were cut and since I just assumed I would have the nose-dive look, I got them cut as soon as I bought them. All 4 corners were cut equal amounts (I think, didnt watch them...I should have), but since the rear coils are a smaller diameter, I think it made a bigger difference on them. I think they cut about a coil, I dont remember.
They ride great, I love em.
