Does this look like a stock 91-92 Spring or aftermarket?

I have a 92 RS parts car, I took the springs out of it, to put into my 83 Z28. The springs look TOTALLY different. I was going to cut one coil off the 92 springs to lower the car a little.. but then I pulled the 83 Z28 springs out and they look very different.

The 92 springs are on the right...

Thanks guys..

Left spring is a stock spring of some sort/ right spring is an aftermarket progressive rate spring.

heres a pic (from left to right)of an rs front spring and a iroc front spring and two iroc rear springs. (this is what i just removed from my car)

about your pic i dont think those rs springs look stock,,,,,but I havent acually seen a newer style one and they may be different im not sure. Regarless put those springs on the right in your car right away!!! I know some eibach are black but im not + if those are eibachs springs. Any part numbers on them???

Thanks guys, I put the springs in, and WOAH, talk about low, I have 24" from the top of the wheel arch to the ground, and the tyre is the same height as the fender.. Luckily I didnt assume they were stock springs, and cut a coil of them!
