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

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 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

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)

Yeah... keep it up Aaaaaaaron and we'll have Sean "Alfred" your ass! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/alfred.gif) Back to those dots... (before we hijack it too much here) green means stock 914-4 (Aaron (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) ). Yellow was for 914-6's (yellow is faster).
