Default What shocks/springs do I have?

I just removed a rear shock from my 1999 996 C4 and found it has a spring with a Green/Red/White color combination on it. Can anyone point me to a chart that can decipher what I have?



I removed the shock above to replace with another set of shocks I got off ebay until I figure out what exactly I want to do with this car. (i.e coil-overs, etc )
The shocks I purchased were off a 2001 996 C4 with 50k and a spring color code of Red/Green/Red (at least that is what it looks like to me from the picture, I am slightly color blind )



Thanks for your help!

I don't know about a chart, but the parts listings at auto atlanta list the color codes on the springs if you dig around. http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=502-00

Thanks for the reply. This helps. Looks like at least both the old and new parts have the same part number. I'm hoping to find more information on the color codes and the spring rates.
