I recently bought some used H&R sport springs for my e30. Opened the package today and I'm a little concerned they aren't H&R springs.

All they have written on them is 100399 31/08 on the fronts and 100480 44/08 on the rears. No indication on brand or anything.

Also the fronts seems to have been cut I think. I've uploaded some pictures (i think). Any info would be much appreciated!

One end of the front springs

Are they meant to be the same both ends? Mine seem to be able to stand up on their own on one end but the other end is like this

and the other like...

Sorry if the pictures are quite big!

Thanks!

Ye that's what I thought. Just very aware that they have no H&R mark on them anywhere and all the others I;ve seen have H&R stamped on them in white....

I've answered this query before! The rears appear to be Jamex springs for a '97 Ford Escort., and the fronts come up as Jamex for an E34.
Scroll down this page: http://www.drive2.ru/r/bmw/4899916394579151180/logbook/ and you'll see a pic. of your fronts.

My H&R have "H&R" on them in white also.

Thanks for the help guys! Seller sent me a refund last night and claimed the guy he bought them off must have mislead him in the first place.... He hasn't asked me to send them back to him though.
