    Have you seen Faulkner springs? They do springs in just about any colour under the sun!

    Koni don't make springs ;)

    As fro Spax being yellow, so what KW's packaged springs are yellow too ...

    The stuff i just took of my car is boge dampers and rusty springs that just had a bit of purple left there held on with a few webs.

    Can i get them blasted and re-coated before i whack em on the 1.3 beasty?

    I had a set from Koni that were bright purple (for the first few miles anyway) Had a silver set from them too. Cant remember who makes them Voigtland or someone isnt it?

    Are you trying to identify what you have?

    Voghtland are purple!

    H&R do some whacky colours too, but like Eibach they shouldn't rust!

    Yes just curious (and p1ssed when i posted). The car handled pretty well and sat nice with them on.

    Will the 1.3 sit alot higher at the front than the 1.8 with the same suspension on?

    a bit higher I'd have thort. All those measurements quoted in catalogues and magazines are all very approximate anyways but compared to the 1.3 springs it'll be a radical change!

    would have thought the 1.8 will sit lower than the 1.3, engine weight and all [:$]

    I've fitted Spax springs for people that have been either purple or red.
