Help Identify These Struts

I don't know what they are lol.
I know the springs are tein, cuz of the green.

Im not sure if the struts are stock or not, because of the colour. OEM is just black, but you can see in the close up that these were dark blue (A lot of paint has come off, but ya). Could be OEM, i have no clue.

Help?

Re: Help Identify These Struts

I think the shocks are just stock/stock replacement, unless you can find some markings.

Give the springs a good paint job to stop the rust/pitting. They look pretty far gone and springs are a wear item, I hope you didn't pay too much.

Re: Help Identify These Struts

Just give the shocks/springs a good scuffing and get any loose surface rust off, then give them a paint job with rust proof paint.

Re: Help Identify These Struts
