    if you pull them out.

    they should have a model number etc. stamped on them and you can call the company that made them and find out the specs of that particular spring.

    Haha I've heard daewoo springs fit in the back of IRS commodores. They're not a very heavy spring though, so you'll end up with a crap ride

    Go to pedders get a factory Camira spring but heavy duty to take a bit more wait will still sit on its guts :P
