    ix H&R sport spring question.

    I thought the ix H&R springs were gray for fronts and blue for rears. I ordered a set weeks ago. today I noticed they were all blue. Are these correct?

    yeah, if you buy them new I'm pretty certain the springs are all blue now. Since its just an oe front spring and a sports rear vert spring or something the fronts used to be grey and rear blue. The part # look correct.

      I have bought them new in the past (twice), they were then grey fronts, blue rears.

            Mine were gray but I'm old as fuck.

            BTW, these come from right in my backyard. I've never been to the H&R HQ even though I drive by it all the time. Lame, huh?

                  Ha. What a coincidence. I'm selling the set that I took off my iX:


                  Same part number, but they're the older gray/blue ones.

                    Just out of curiosity, why did you take them off?

                      I'll answer that with some pics:





                      See, for the driving the car sees, I'm more interested in ground clearance, suspension travel, and softer spring rates than in performance on the pavement. :)

                      (Those pics are actually of my previous iX, but my current one looks just like it except for the number of doors.)
