what color dot found on rear OEM springs???
 
I'm selling my OEM springs and I have a question... How do you identify which one is for the rear and which one is for the front? I see that 2 of them have a purplish dot and the other 2 have a pinkish/orange dot. Which one goes where??? :Freak_ani

BTW, I can't go by the spring height cuz they're all the same looking to me.

^^Thanks, man!

the way to tell so you never have to worry about remembering the color is that if you stand them up on the big end the rear springs are a bit shorter and the wire diameter is smaller due to the rear spring rate being less than the front


rears should be the pink dot and fronts purple dot

I agree with TeamRX8.....mine are the same.

there are dots on the springs? haha

Dots?
 
The actual spring cross-section is smaller on the rear. (The size of the steel, not the coil width)
