Thumbs up Help to Identify These OEM Coil Spirngs

Can someone please tell me which pair is the front OEM springs and which pair is for the rear set?

The springs have the "Blue, Orange, and Blue" marks on them---(front? or rear?)

The springs have the "Blue, Blue, and Blue" marks on them---(front? or rear?)

AP1 has stiffer springs in the back. Look like "blue, orange, blue" ones are thicker. Hard to tell in the pic.

Measure the thickness. Use an open end wrench to gauge which is thicker.

Thicker definitely goes to the rear.

bill does it look like there are 3 distinct springs in that photo?

the 3r from the left has a flat spring perch rather than the type that has an offset in the perch itself to account for a non ground spring.


i challange that being a complete "set" of springs

Blue-blue-blue ones go up front and they are the 4.3kg/mm springs for the 03' AP1 .
