Default H&R 'greens' not-so-green...

So my H&R springs just came in today and after opening the box, I was a bit surprised. My H&R 'greens' are purple!

Part number HR-29813

Is the green and red description just an expression of the ride quality?

As long as the part number is correct you are fine.

What ride height are you planning? I am hopefully going with H&R "reds" set to RS ride height on my 90 C2.

I'm wanting to get it down to RS height. The Bilstein HD's should be coming in any day now.

Doing it myself. I swapped out the rotors for some zimmermans a while back and while under there took a good look at the suspension. I was surprised to see adjustable threaded collars under there from the factory. Pretty sweet.

I'll be taking plenty of pics when I do the swap. Probably doing it over my Christmas leave period. The only thing i'm worried about is my slight OCD getting ahold of me and turning this into a complete suspension bushing upgrade.

Thanks for the wheels comment btw. Got them on island a few months ago at a decent price. A bit lighter than the targa wheels which were on it.
