Identifying kit front springs???

[Monkeysmate]

I've got some kit front springs, and would like to ID them.
Some seem to have one silver dash on the bottom face of the spring, and some seem to have two dashes. This doesn't seem to correlate with the normal team c front spring markings...
Any ideas?
Thank you

Are these for big bore shocks?

If those dashes were dots then they would correspond to the ones shown on this chart:


But they would be rears?

Thanks for taking the time to reply...

They could be called "dots" but they are square... I'll try and get a photo...

Thanks for the chart. My query really is that the front springs only have one or two "dots" on them, but the chart suggests that front springs should have either 4, 5 or 6 dots - hence my confusion.

Any thoughts?

The Team-C spring designations have obviously changed over time as some manuals identify the different rate springs with different colours..

I have just looked at the TM2-v2 manual (Same front end as TC02C) and that shows front and rear springs having the same one-dot, two-dot and three-dot identifiers for hard, medium and soft respectively.

One-dot front TU0260-F
Two-dot front TU0250-10F
Three-dot front TU0262-F

If they are for Big Bore shocks then they will probably be rated as shown on this table:

Thank you Clive. I think that's sorted it.

Here's a photo of the "dots" anyway for reference...

After a bit more digging and some info from Kev Lee (thank you), it seems that there are the following springs available (where 1 dot is hardest (?))...

FRONT
1 Dot - TU0260-F
2 Dot - TU0250-10F
3 Dot - TU0262-F
4 Dot - TU0250-11F
5 Dot - TU0250-12F
6 Dot - TU0250-13F

REAR
1 Dot - TU0260-R
2 Dot - TU0250-10R
3 Dot - TU0262-R

Does anyone have any spring rates for front springs 1-3 dots? only 4dot-6dot seems to be listed on the spring rate charts linked above??

Thank you
