InkyFingers Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Just wondering what the colour of the springs on my HPC means, mine are pale blue, does that mean anything? Thanks, just curious. I am not a number, I am a free man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 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 prisonR 43 C12 KAR - Some pictures here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Rich_Bernie Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 170lbs I think (if not 180). I'm using them with 250 fronts on a K series. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
