As revealed earlier, I don't know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) about suspension. I did know enough to listen to the pros and have taken Eric's set up advice. (guess who has new Bilsteins coming (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) My question is this; how do I identify what I currently have? Is this done by the number of coils? Is it stamped somewhere? Color coded? Here is a shot of mine. And...what does 100,120,140lb represent? What happens at a given value? TIA, kent

I bought 165 lb. progressive springs From Troutman in Temecula. They were at 27831 Sycamore Mesa Road. 909 699 9277. That was about 10 years ago and I'm not sure they are in business anymore. I also got cross drilled rotors from them. Too bad if they're no longer around.
Cheers, Elliot |

House has a caretaker & lots of Porsche parts but they have been gone though. Springs / brake hoses are no longer being made. |

Dont mean to hijack but could someone comment on the meaning of the various color paint dabs used on the OE springs ? I know that I've read that yellow was for 914 6 specific springs. True ? if so what does red or green indicate ? |
