Hi all,

I've been looking through various adverts at springs. It's kind of weird, but some stockists seem to specify a colour, so here's paddock for example: - Suspension

I've also seen springs advertised as 'Blue' and 'Yellow'.

Surely the colour can't be the only difference - the colours 'mean' something, right? If so, what?

Thanks,

Ben

Should have googled before asking. Duh. Here's a link that helps anybody else interested: land rover spring specifications

the codes dont relate to anything coloured aftermarket though, the colour codes are just blobs of paint

No - but it would appear that Paddock's springs are all genuine LR items - on these the colours do mean something.

Stuff like Britpart and B'mach are just branded certain ways - likewise de Carbon. The OME are black, so you can't tell from the colour (clearly), but the site does have some idea about what the numerical codes mean. I'm just faffing about trying to find a spring that doesn't lift the car too much, but offers a ride something other than 'rubber duck in bathtub'. I'll work through the site and see what's what...
