Re: Springs in Junkyard: buy or no?

I agree, snatch up those Bilsteins.  Even if they are blown, they have a
lifetime guarantee.  Check the fronts too, if there is a larger size piston
than normal, the should be Bilsteins as well.  Get them all.  I also had some
Suspension Techniques springs that were linear rate.  These sound like those
that you described.  The ones I had were blue in color.  What color are these
springs?
