Does green dot determine 100, 140, or higher spring?

Posted by: skline Jan 11 2005, 10:21 PM

Green dots denote stock springs.

says who?

to KNOW the spring rate... get yourself a ruler and lots of weight. add weight on top of the spring until it compresses 1 inch. then you know your spring rate in lb/inch

The factory matched springs. Those are stock 914-4 springs. They used the "number" of dots as they matched the springs. Both should have the same number of green dots. (1, 2 or 3)

Back to those dots... (before we hijack it too much here) green means stock 914-4 (Aaron ). Yellow was for 914-6's (yellow is faster).

I tested 3 sets of stock springs several years ago. At least some of them had green dots, don't remember if they all did. Anyway, all were exactly 50#/in.
