Bilstein Shocks - Cloured springs, what do they mean?

Caterham standard fitment FRONT spring rates for Vauxhall, X/flow and VVC engined road cars was 170lb/in. My 1996.5 X/flow De-Dion road car was supplied with pale blue springs on the front shocks.

 

Progressive REAR springs were introduced on 1996.5 onwards specification De-Dion cars, mine were red. I don't know the standard rear spring rates prior to this change.

 

K series road cars (except VVC) were supplied with 150lb/in front springs, and progressive rears from '96.5 onwards.

 

Hope that helps *biggrin*

Gavin - great info - thanks *thumbup* The rear shocks are black spring Bilstein units (front are blue like yours - and mine is a 96 5sp dedion too *thumbup*)
