Hi all, i have read on here before about suspension spring being different colours dependant on model, a/c etc. Iv had a good search around but cant find the thread again. Can anyone tell me what colour they should be on a 98 LE ? currently I have a green blob on the rear springs, the fronts are silver/white. I have a feeling the front is sitting a bit lower than it should, is there any easy way of finding out ? thanks Rich thumb

Orange blob and green blobs' on my front springs appear original.

Cheers for that, I guess the best way of seeing if my car is sitting low is for me to measure, for instance, from the top of the alloy wheel, up in a straight line to the bonnet, if anyone who knows their coupe is standard and fancies checking theirs, it will give me the comparison I need !! Pretty please anyone thumb cool
