Spring color codes

[0257]

All, I’m replacing Evelyn’s leaky dampers with Bilstein B6s. As I go through the task, learning lots. One thing I haven’t been able to learn from my resources is what rear springs I’m running. The fronts are green (14mm diameter); the rears are blue (13mm diameter/13.5” total height). . The factory manual doesn’t even list blue springs. On the 2002s, blue generally means heavy duty. Anyone know what I’ve got?

You might already have this, but in case you don't here it is, the spec's from the Blue book. While no blue springs are listed, they do list 3 different wire diameters for rear springs.

Thanks, Mike. Yep, I have the shop manual and noted the same. Fronts are green and about 14mm diameter. Rears are a mystery…
