Default B44.1 springs

I have green rears but i think the fronts that came with my car are kyosho silver looking for any springs but definitely after ae silver fronts and rears.

Can someone tell me how to tell if the fronts i have are ae or kyosho?

The AE silver fronts are very short, Kyosho silver fronts are similar in length to the newer AE brown/blue springs.
I'll have a check on the length of the AE fronts when I have some handy a bit later, but as new ones are only a couple of quid if you're not sure just get some ordered

Silver fronts have the shock collars all the way to the top without any issues, possibility they could be Kyosho.

the springs you got with the car were from kyosho as they are longer and more progressive alan, the ae silvers are very short and the shock collar is almost at the bottom of the thread when fitted. the rears are kyosho to.
