Default Please I.D. these springs....

Just remembered I had them in the parts room. I think that the seller referred to them as "Euro M030". Been so long....

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Yep, they're RoW M030 but the rears are RoW M030 turbo springs.

Thanks Tim.
What would the difference be with the turbo rears?

I am not an expert but I'd guess the Turbo rear springs would be stiffer to accomadate the Turbo's extra weight.

Rears are turbos as stated - have them in my C4s - work great IMHO.

Yes, this looks like the preferred set of springs for RoW MO30 set. The RoW Turbo (three red marks) are slightly stiffer then stock rear RoW spring and is commonly used in this setup.

I had these on my 993 and it worked quite well as a compromise for street and track . . .

Now if you could find a set of Monroe's, you'll have a complete set

I ran RoW M030 turbo springs on Bilstein HDs for a year before going with PSS10s. It was a nice combination for the track, especially once I added a 21mm rear bar. The only thing with the turbo springs is that RoW Sport height was the lowest I could go with the Billys bottomed out. Yes, they are made to carry extra weight and therefore don't sag as much when used on a non turbo car.
