I purchased my '97 240sx with these springs already installed. They are light blue in color. I'd post pics but it's cooold outside, sorry. The ride is pretty stiff but that may be because the shocks/struts are aftermarket Tokico sets. If they are cheapo no name springs, then I may get a new set, just wondering. Has anyone ever seen any light blue springs for the s14?

Tein s-techs are darkish green and these are a really light blue-ish-green?! I don't think the color just faded away either. Although I may be wrong. I found some light green springs in an image search for 240sx springs and found Progress that makes that color springs. But then Progress' page (?progressauto.com?) doesn't have springs for the 240sx. Espelir's color is kind of close too. doh!

different company's have different color parts so once some one finds out what color it really is then we could find out who makes them.

i found these the color seems to match http://www.360tuners.com/index...D=852

I installed some Vogtland Springs on my 93 s13, which are not very popular among 240sx owners.

Spring and struts suck, get coilovers. S13/S14's should have come with them stock.

umm so do most cars last time i checked... unless the have torsion bars

which really suck. To OP, id worry more about your shocks blowing than having crappy springs. alot of people complain about those tokico blues

if you dont want to spend the money, dont mod your car and buy crappy products. Spring/struts can be just as good as coils if you get quality parts
