Hi again all,

Does anyone know what green and white paint on a suspension spring
denotes?  I know the DPO of my car changed the rear springs, and not the
front ones, and the car always looked like it was "squatting", even when
standing still because the rear looked low.

Could these be competition springs on the back which is lowering it by a
inch or so, and the regular ride height in the front, which would result
in the "high nose" attitude I remember?  The front springs are rusty and
have no evidence of markings, and are original according to him.  The
rear ones are relatively clean and have one green stipre and one white
stripe each on them.
