I just uncovered a set of springs that I pulled a bunch of years ago. I got the front springs off of a GT after measuring them to make sure they were heavier wire than the DL next to it (always carry a cheap caliper with you at the yards, it pays off) I noticed the rear springs were heavier too so I grabbed them also. Now I'm wondering just what I have. The measurements are as follows

F wire .565 dia, free length 16 1/4"
R wire .506 dia, free length 16 3/8"

They have light undercoating on them which I rubbed off to get the measurements, where I cleaned them off they are painted black. I don't see the paint marks on them like those IPD used to identify their old style springs, and IPD didn't undercoat theirs.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
