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???

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

 

flip a coin!

i have no idea...

 

anybody?

 

it's somewhere on the forum, has come up before, otherwise I can tell you tomorrow after I run down to the shop

 

^^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.

 

EXCELLENT! Thanks TeamRX8 and apotocki.

 

there are dots on the springs? haha

 

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

This is the info I've been looking for for the last hour. Great forum, once again!
