Trying to identify strut spring with part #
There are no color bars on this, anyone know what the spring rate is on this? Part # looks like 492 MUB95134.3
I got it from someone who was going to put it on his '91 S2 but he didn't know the spring rate.

There are no colored dots or bars on either spring. I looked for evidence where someone might have scratched or rubbed them off but didn't see anything.

Measure the wire-diameter with some calipers.

Here's some info I found:
944 wire-diameter = 12.0mm free height = 407mm 944S2 wire-diameter = ??? free height = 378mm 951 non-S wire-diameter = 12.0mm free height = 396mm 951, 1990+ wire-diameter = 11.6mm free height = 356mm 951 TurboS or S2+M030 wire-diameter = 11.7-12.2mm free height = 329mm You can compare what you have to one of those to see which matches.

Free standing it looks to be about 358mm. I'll have a micrometer tomorrow to measure the wire diameter.
