Hello, thank you for posting. It looks like you have the Titan balance system. The nylon coil spring housing is our 15-262 and the pivot shoe is the 15-263. They use short coil springs S195-3 and S195-4 and the long coil springs S196-3 and S196-4. You will need to compare these with your old springs to confirm. Let me know if you had any questions.

Thank you! The window weights roughly 3bs. Will those coils work still? Also, does it matter the coil placement on the housing? Short on top?

I would double check that sash weight. You're looking at four springs per side, which usually indicates a pretty heavy sash. The weakest option available for the coil springs I recommended is 3.5 pounds, which would add up to 28 pounds of support on your balance system (3.5 pounds x 8). 

As for long vs short, I recommend using your old coil balance setup to confirm what to go with. You can use either the balance assembly on the opposite side of this window, or an identical window elsewhere in the house.

Thank you. I meant 30lbs not 3. Ill go with all of your recommendations.
