Hi,
   I'm just in the process of changing the springs on my Disco, I have removed Pink/red's from the rear and have fitted Brown/grey,
the only thing is the pink/reds appeared to be about an inch or more taller (when uncompressed) than the brown\grey ones, I assume the pink\reds compress more due t being lighter duty is there any way I can look up the spring colour codes,thanks - Keith

I have a page of springs/colours clipped from the interweb........  I forget where.

See attached word doc.

The brown and grey are military spec............  suspect they will be a bit hard!

They aren't that much stiffer but being new I recon you will notice a difference.
