I was under my 1990 Gt checking for road salt damage from a previous owner and realized both the rear coil springs and lower control arms appear to be aftermarket parts. The springs appear to powdercoated black and are tagged with a green sticker label marked: MID E5SC. Is anyone familiar ? I struck out on a google search.

Also, The lower control arms look nearly new( nearly 100k miles and no rust !! ). I'd like to know what they are. Do all the manufacturers stamp their control arms somewhere? These appear to powdercoated gray. Thanks for any thoughts on this.

The springs sound like stockers. The arms are more than likely aftermarket if they are a tube design. If they're stamped steel then they're stockers.

I didn't expect to see so little rust on the springs or LCAs for stockers. The LCAs are stamped steel and not tubular. I don't have access to a camera right now. I was hoping one of you guys might recognize the number. I'm guessing the "MID" is the abbreviated company name.

Nope, you have stock springs. Here are mine



Do the control arms look something like this??

Thanks Projectresto83. Those are the same green tags. Better condition( lack of rust) than i would have expected for 100k stockers.
