What suspension do I have?

I think I finally found out why I scrape my front lip so much, and why none of my jacks will fit easily under the car.

It appears to have an aftermarket setup - threaded body strut, height adjusters, and tender springs.

I'm hoping someone can help me identify it? Please see attached pic:

Does that look familiar to anyone? I could not find any clear markings. There's a worn out sticker on the main spring, but can't get anything from it.

Ultimately I'm trying to decide if these are worth keeping. I already have other kidney-jarring, race-car stiff vehicles, and I really want this to be my more comfortable GT type car.

TIA

H&Rs for sure. They are a great street setup. These are the ones that I took off.

Excellent, thanks very much gents! Trying several google image searches didn't get me very far.

So would these be the "Street" or "RSS"? I guess either seems well regarded.

Time to plan a trip to the race shop for height adjustment, corner balancing & alignment.

before investing all that you might want to check the shocks and determine if they need rebuilding or not

Yup, looks like H&R Coilovers...I am running H&R Street Coilovers and very happy with them. The Shocks are made by Bilstein and the springs should have part numbers on them. Here is a pic of one of my fronts and you can clearly see the part numbers on the springs, see if you can find/match the part numbers on your springs:
