different query about suspension spring information

macafee2 · 6th September 2019, 17:17

I know what colour code my springs are for my cars. If I or in fact if anyone wanted to go stiffer or softer to what is fitted to their car, could a kind sole please provide the colour codes of springs for various models from soft to stiff? Front and rear? Is there a choice?

thank you

Probably not much use for your query, but does show what springs are used on which model

A slight Hi-Jack to this thread,

I have noticed that my 75 Tourer and not just mine has always sat low compared to a saloon version by quite some degree.I would have thought that being a Tourer it would have sat higher than a saloon due to it being able to carry more weight. Or am I completely wrong in this assumption?

This lists "Comfort" & "Sport" springs etc.
