03 MCS Shocks/Springs
I was wondering if anyone can help me identify these shocks and springs on my 03 MCS. The numbers on them don't google to anything and I don't know the brand from the markings. The front springs are yellow and look like lowering springs, bu I can't find numbers on them anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

Struts are totally stock. Have MFG DATE of 2002.

The springs have numbers on them: KW 12081 60010262 37 02

I looked at the KW site, but there are no springs with those numbers. But maybe these are older ones?

I believe they don't carry lowering springs anymore for MINI.
