Can someone help me identify a set of Eibach springs I have? They were installed on my 2005 C2S when I bought the car but my wrench discovered they were not the right springs for my car and are actually for an AWD Carrera, but I don't know which specific model. I would like to find out which model so I can sell them. These are the part numbers on the springs below. I couldn't find any refernce to these part numbers on the interwebs. Thanks in advance for your help.
Does active suspension mean PASM? I see the prices of the strut mounts are pretty much the same, but the rear strut mounts have different last numbers of the part number signifying coupe with active suspension, coupe without active suspension, cabrio with active suspension, and lastly cabrio without active suspension.
The active suspension bump stops are ~$10 more vs the non active. Again I’m assuming to get the active since i have PASM.
Here are the links for what I plan to purchase. Hopefully this is all correct.
Also anything else I should add on the list since I’m already in there? Didn't realize this would be an extra $600 in parts, so another couple bucks won’t be much.
I don’t see strut bearings, but I do see ring washer and stop plate for the front corners.
These both look like flat donuts. For the rear I'm not sure what could possibly be the equivalent of strut bearings..maybe strut washer, but there are 3 different kinds.

As @qikqbn said, you definitely want new strut mounts. I checked all mine and they looked good but my right rear still went a year later. The rears actually have a foam-type bushing that just gets compressed with age and allows some play. You will hear a faint rattling when one side of the suspension is loaded in a bumpy corner. The fronts have a rubber bushing that can crack or tear. I believe that results its more of a pronounced knock when going over low speed bumps.
Overall I love the Eibachs. One of my favorite mods for the car and I get compliments from everyone on the stance. 15mm spacers on the rear are perfect but the 7mm I put on the front are too small in my opinion. They are still slightly tucked in compared to the rears. Another member said 15mm in the front were too much so maybe 10 or 12 is the right balance.
Hi!! Great looking car and stance!! What´s the tire size in your setup?
Cheers!
I have the eibach sport springs. Nice drop from stock but wished I would have gone coilovers from the beginning. Still a bit of wheel gap and no ability to adjust.
