Can someone please ID these springs?

I was looking through the archives trying to determine who made these springs. I found one old post that said light blue springs were early ST springs and prone to sagging. Can anyone verify that these are those early ST springs or not? I don't want to put these back on the tii after completely rebuilding the suspension if they are going to be the weak link down the road. Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

....my old Suspension Techniques springs

were a goldish color painted

you don't see any numbers stamped on the coils anywhere?

so we can cross reference

'64 R27 250cc #383851 18,000m
'11 FORD Transit #T058971 28,000m "Truckette"

Yup, you got you some springs, there!

That out of the way, were they on the car when you got 'em?

If you liked the stance, then by now, if they were going to

sag, they'd have done it already.

And changing springs is the work of a morning, so if'n it was me, I'd

use them, then see how it went. You can always use spring rubbers under

them to get some height back...

They are indeed S/T springs. There will be notches on the pigtails. 1 notch is front and 2 notch is rear.

They're decent springs. When they went blue(started with gold, black & now blue or green), their construction turned to cold wind. Similar to H&R and Eibach. The big diffrence is that S/T used domestic spring steel vs metric.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
