Default What color are the Progress Springs?

The reason i ask is that the GF wants a set ( early Christmas present ) but doesnt want them if they are the Smurf Blue. I did an install of a set of what i thought was Progress and they were slate grey, but im not sure if they were indeed Progress Springs.

TY

Mine are light blue. They are nice, the ride is stiffened up but not harsh. Also you really don't notice them.

The progress came in the blue and grey. I don't know what color they are currently using though.

FYI ... the new Progress Springs are slate grey in color. The same color as the rear sway.

why does it matter what color they are? She's not going to see them to often once they are on the car.

Actually in the rear you can see the springs if you have after market wheels. The GoldLines were yellow in color and match her color scheme very well. Having a baby blue spring in there would be noticeable.

It was something that would have bugged the hell out of her. Kinda like the little scratch or dent that only you know where it is.

I thought of painting them, but it would have to be a flexible paint. Those springs compress alot during daily driving.

But none of that matters now, as Progress now has the springs painted the slate grey like everything else they sell. Blends in nicely.
