Default What kind of springs do I have?

My ex roommate switched the springs in his car, I never paid any attention to what he did, he just left them in my back room, then eventually moved out, leaving them in my house. I have a set of smaller-diameter springs, and a set of larger diameter springs...He had a 2006 Eclipse, v6. Could someone tell me what I have? LoL.

I Can't seem to get the picture loaded, so here's a link to it:

What I mean is I've only known cars to have a single set of springs. In the picture if you couldn't tell, I set the smaller springs inside the larger springs, is that how they're supposed to go, or do I have 2 seperate sets? if so, how are they supposed to be paired? 2-small to 2-big, or all-small is one set, and all-big is another set?

yea, I know they're stock...no, there is no stamp or anything on them, other than paint spots....What I don't know is if I have 2 sets, or one...I don't know anything about the 2006 eclipse other than how to drive it...a friend suggested to me today that I have 2 sets because the front shocks are usually smaller, and the rear are bigger...but he wasn't sure...that's why I was here :-)

Either way, they aren't really worth anything

I'm aware of that...but then again, I don't own an eclipse, I got these things for free, and I could sell them all for a $1 and still make a profit...what I want to know is if i have 1 or 2 sets...

If I had to throw a guess, I would say 1.

I don't know what the setup looks like, but that is for sure from one car. It has 8 springs.
