B4 spring help please
 

May be a bit of a funny q but how to tell the difference between silver and gray springs on the rear of a b4.i bought it second hand some months ago and it has fitted i think 1 of each and i have a spare set which i think is also 1 of each.there is only a very slight difference in colour.1 being slightly shinier than the other.but very slight or do i have 2 sets of silver? so are there considerable diff between silver and gray?:confused:

There is silver and grey silver are the softer of the two and should be shinier

should be a noticible difference between the two.silver springs are more a natural finish on the springs(actually dont think there is any paint on it)where the grey has a matt paint like finish on it

yes i think i can just about see the difference between them.(after asking my 3 wives and 2 girlfriends is hard to argue with:wub.lol)very hard tho and it was 1 of each on the car. this has put a end to why the car was pulling up (braking slightly) to 1 side on a straight.always thought i had 2 sets of silver as the gray dont come in the packs,but when i had a look at the set up sheets found that you can also get grays that are slightly harder.:thumbsup:

I didn't know about grey ones either, that'll explain why they are not shiny, I hope I haven't mixed them up, I'll check later.
Greys are harder than silvers, is that correct?

yes the grays are 2.33 and the silvers are 2.10. its very hard to see the difference.the only way is that the gray ones are a sort of matt.also if you slightly pinch them between your finger and thumb you can ever so feel slight softer in the silvers.i have tried to take a picture but even then you can not see the difference
