Read off the numbers on the springs. Grey is highly likely to be an older set of H&R Sports or OE Sports.
Note that you can get a 9mm front upper spring pad, and 15mm spring pads top and bottom for the rear. The front also might have a drop hat - it's pretty common to throw the E90 upper spring perch on, which lowers the front 15mm. (If it's aluminum, it's the E90 hat.)
FYI, I've done at least five E30 engine swaps (not counting stock).
Also, if that car was OBDI converted, check the state of the knock sensors. OBDI knock sensors commonly fail in as little as 10 years. This shows up as visible cracking.
