Can anyone tell me if springs are colour coded?
If they are, what colour should 325i Sport fronts be?
TIA
Stuart.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

i dont think they are colour coded mate, I seem to recall mine had grey paint on them as opposed to standard black but I could be dreaming again
Bollocks to this 24v scrap!

I think the colour of the dab of paint on the springs specifies which rubber pads should be used on the base of the springs (they come in different thickness). I think the bentley manual has a list of the colours / sizes.

As for the colour of the springs themselves, I think they are all painted black?
