why are my HR oe sports blue?

[noid]

Got these in the mail, oe sports for my e30, i thiught they were supposed to be grey?

The spring has 50404-55 on it, so it seems like the right spring, but at the top it says z/t and has an F after the part number. While the grey ones say c/v and have an e after.

Anyone have any insite into what these extra characters mean and why its different?

mine are blue too, cars in FL, dont know what the numbers are,

[MrSlacker]

H&R changes colors all the time. Go by part numbers, NOT COLOR!

And 50404-55 is 100% correct part number for OE Sport Springs

The other characters are date codes and "F" for front.

Mine are cabrio specific and the front are gray while the back are blue!

Yup- color means nothing. Bought a new set of Sports from an R3V member- they were red and I thought they might be race springs- I called H&R directly and they were very nice- sent them pictures of the numbers and they confirmed that they were "Super Sports"- same spring rate as Sports.
