Looking to buy a set of stock springs or shock+spring combo for a coupe

So one of the items on a long, long list of repairs my car needs is a new front, right spring because it has at some point sheared clean and now partially hangs off the strut tower.

The front left spring looks pretty close to being done as well, so I figured it might be time to change all 4 of them.

I have no interest in lowering the car as the coupey is my winter car and I really couldn't care less about fender gap when its -30C out..LOL.

So if youve lowered your car and are looking to get rid of your stock springs or springs + shock combo, let me know.

Thanks.

Correct me if Im wrong, but I believe the "sport" suspension (spring, shock) from a sport sedan would fit the coupe as well.

^ Except shipping in Canada is @#%*!! $$$..

jcnash, can you PM me a price? I'm going to guess shipping to be around $100. No joke. Canada post is a freaking ripoff.

Can anyone confirm if a suspension set (shocks+springs) from a 2005 c230 sedan would fit my coupe??

Not sure what type of sedan this suspension comes from...but would it make a difference?

What do the three blue lines on the rear springs mean? Anything I need to verify before buying?

Attached is a pic the seller sent me.
