What kind of springs are these?

[preludeIVgen]

Hello, recently bought these from my BB 4th gen prelude. Says tanabe on the box, theyre red! They were very old stock from a little jap-tuning shop. I cant really figure out what the other stuff on the box says, i assume its spring rate? has anyone seen tanabe springs like this? they dont seem to be the df210 series as they look very linear.

This is what it says on the boxes:

Front:
BB48.4KF
H245

Rear:
BB46.5kr
H300

that site sucks! tells me 2 different things ... "lowering the vehicle 2-2 1/2in (50-60mm)"

"front/rear 1.2 / 1.2"

exactly, the df gf series tanabe springs are supposed to be progressive, at least from what ive seen... the springs i have a completely linear, which points to PRO210... however they were only made in 65mm diameter, which doesnt add up.

either these are some rare prototype tanabe, or they aint tanabe!

something to look out for on the springs
#1are there any labels on the spring it self, if those are genuine TANABE, there should be a small black label on each spring
