i just got them in the mail today from map , the mr version since i have billsteins, this may be a dumb question, box definatley says MR but the springs are black, every picture i have seen they are that light blue color, is there a way to tell if they are the sport springs and not the spec-r

 

New color that's all.

 

ok cool, are the sport springs still red?

 

Sport springs are still red, i know someone that bought some not to long ago. But hey you can always call swift and check if they changed the colour of their spec r springs. Let me know how these spec r springs feel, im in the market for some.

 

Black paint has a better rebound effect than the former light blue color paint. The blue paint caused the metal in the springs to rebound way too fast so it was like driving a pogo stick. Once the color was changed and the light refraction index consulted the ride has been corrected.

 

i think this summed it up the best



in mid 2011 Swift changed the color of the spec-r's from the light blue color to black color

 

I found this to be true on the set that I just installed. However, to be safe, I stripped the paint, sprayed the light blue, then went over it with black plasti-dip.

Because plasti-dip is a quality, professional grade tool-handle-dipping paint that it should be applied to everything including the exterior of cars.
