What kind of springs do I have?

  

CougarRacinChic -> What kind of springs do I have? (6/28/2008 10:06:13 PM)

My ex roommate switched the springs in his car, I never paid any attention to what he did, he just left them in my back room, then eventually moved out, leaving them in my house.  I have a set of smaller-diameter springs, and a set of larger diameter springs...He had a 2006 Eclipse, v6.  Could someone tell me what I have? LoL.

I Can''t seem to get the picture loaded, so here''s a link to it:

What I mean is I''ve only known cars to have a single set of springs.  In the picture if you couldn''t tell, I set the smaller springs inside the larger springs, is that how they''re supposed to go, or do I have 2 seperate sets? if so, how are they supposed to be paired? 2-small to 2-big, or all-small is one set, and all-big is another set?

Do they say anything on them?

Looks like you got left with the stockers!

That what I was thinking, they dont look like aftermarket stuff.

yea, I know they''re stock...no, there is no stamp or anything on them, other than paint spots....What I don''t know is if I have 2 sets, or one...I don''t know anything about the 2006 eclipse other than how to drive it...a friend suggested to me today that I have 2 sets because the front shocks are usually smaller, and the rear are bigger...but he wasn''t sure...that''s why I was here :-)

Either way, they aren''t really worth anything

CougarRacinChic -> RE: What kind of springs do I have? (6/29/2008 10:12:49 PM)

I''m aware of that...but then again, I don''t own an eclipse, I got these things for free, and I could sell them all for a $1 and still make a profit...what I want to know is if i have 1 or 2 sets...

Sebba -> RE: What kind of springs do I have? (6/29/2008 10:16:38 PM)

If I had to throw a guess, I would say 1.

CougarRacinChic -> RE: What kind of springs do I have? (6/29/2008 10:21:01 PM)

so the small ones go inside the big ones, then?

Sebba -> RE: What kind of springs do I have? (6/29/2008 10:29:03 PM)

I don''t know what the setup looks like, but that is for sure from one car. It has 8 springs.
