Does anyone have a key to the colour coding used on 924 front springs?

I got hold of a spare pair that have two green 'dabs' of paint, wheras the ones on my car have a single blue dab...

Thanks for digging out that old thread for us, Eric.

Smoothie, dude, any chance of searching through your obviously compendious data for the above combinations? Cheers, mate.

Note that my ('85) car is not a turbo, and yet it has BLUE marked springs. I'm fairly sure the springs are the originally-fitted ones.

Results of some crude measurements on the "2 green" springs:

Uncompressed length ~370 mm (371?)

Compression under a 875 newton test load (me!) ~60 mm

Estimated spring rate 80 - 82 lb/in

"1 green" spring rate 121 ±1 lb/in (from Smoothie's info in the other post)

maby this helps maby not..

a few years ago i had the red 924 NA with its original(i think) coils....i swapped a pair of coils that seamed to come from a 944S or a 944...these had blue paint dots on them. As a result the car was sitting way up and looked like an offroad vehicle.
