I have two sets of springs, one blue, one yellow. Do these colors correspond to a specific strength? 140, 220, etc?

Pictures might help a little too. I have 180s on the Chalon and they are light blue. I have seen yellow ones from a different manufacturer that were 180s also. Compare it to a stock spring, check the size of the spring compared to a stock spring. What are you looking for in size?

my tires are black, what can you tell me about them??? smile.gif

seriously, measure them.....you cannot tell by color alone

find a buddy that has free weights, stack weights on a spring until it compresses 1 inch.....add up the plates and you've got your numbers (unless progressive, but it can still be done in a similar manner)

If they are black and on your car, they are round for the most part and probably made of rubber. If they are on your AX car, they have a few flat spots from locking the brakes here and there.
