Just recieved my HD Bilsteins in the mail, I was under the impression that I could remove/install the springs by simply applying some pressure but cannot seem to get it to work. This has me wondering if I have stock springs.

Is there any guide to the color coated paint on the springs? The are black with hand painted green stripes.

Thanks,
Dan

I would think that your springs are stock based on the description. The green bands are typical of stock springs and designate the rate group. When the springs are tested they are binned into 3 tolerance groups, and then two springs of the same tolerance group are paired for a car.
