Default Coilovers ? Need help identifying these

Picked these up a while ago as a part of a deal .Can't remember what they are as there are no markings on them.

The springs also most look oem. But the shocks are some type of coilover. There is a damper setting on the top. They almost look like buddy clubs but not (I don't think)

Any ideas?

They are BC racing coilovers. the number on the spring is for their 12k spring

Based on the color, it's their v1 series

Would definitely replace the springs. The set in general looks like it's seen better days.

If all you're going for is a lowered car (which I think is all you'll get out of these as well), then find some eibach or swift springs and swap them onto your oem suspension.

When you remove the springs, test the dampers to see if they're still fine or blown or about to go and make a decision that way I suppose

I already have a set of Buddy clubs N+ installed. These are extra and just trying to find out information on them. Would be good to have as a spare set in case of anything. Hopefully The dampers are okay. How do I test for blown or about to go?
