members who installed Sprint Springs

What color are your springs and do they have any markings on them? Thanks.

I'm trying to determine what springs my friend has... they're unmarked, and a bright blue color. Fronts are linear, rears are progressive. Owner said they're 2" drop, and $99 when new. $99 seems kinda cheap for Sprints, or is it?

Ok, I just got mine in.

How do you determine what are top/bottom on the fronts and rears? My B&Gs had markings. These don't.

Erik - the FATTER ones are for the front, skinnier ones are for the rear - top and bottom shouldnt matter. Oh yea, my sprints are blue....

The rear springs only fit one way. The bottom coil is the smallest.

I believe the springs only fit 1 way (top and bottom). For the rears, check the spring diameter (larger up top). For the fronts, use the side that fits the notch in the strut platform better.
