I got a pair of these in a batch of misc. 914 parts. Or rather, we think these springs are for 914. Very blue, 1/2" wire, 14" free length, about 7 coils (allowing for the flattened ends), correct diameter for 914 at 4.25" (110mm?). Seems like they'd be rather stiff. Anyone recognize them? Need to figure out what they are before I offer them for sale.

I looked again at both springs carefully, Rob. No marking at all. Drat! The Weltmeister 100 lb. I put on the rear of the car are black and well marked, both brand and rate.

The 100 lb. springs are 11mm wire, these blue are a full 1/2" (12.7mm). so probably at least 140 lb., perhaps more.

Would be nice to know for sure though.
