Can somebody tell me what kind of springs these are? They have green paint on them. Here are some pics.
EDIT- Here's the update. They are Manley Valve Springs with Manley Titanium Retainers. This pisses me off because I was told I had bought 918's and comp retainers. This manley stuff is worth $75 for both of them tops. The guy I bought it from is willing to work with me. What should I do to compensate for the big difference in cost compared to what I paid for.

well i didnt think about them being factory thats why i was asking if you could find out how hard they were and get some more measurements then determine who makes them, but if they are factory it shouldnt be too hard to figure out

well the guy thought they were 918's. I'm thinking they're green z06 springs. He apparently doesn't know and I dont know
He's willing to refund my money but I gotta figure out what kind they are first

take 1 of them to a good machine shop or company that does heat treating and just tell them to test them on the rockwell scale (hardness of material) they should also have a spring rate tester. then call comp with the info you get if you think they might be comps.
