skunk2 coilovers

i just got a set from someone online, and they don't have any numbers on them, they are off of a 98 teg, and they will be going on my crx, any other visual differences besides the different numbering, as far as i can tell one set of springs is a darker red than the other, thanks for the help

Good luck.. that sucks you have to wait for skunk to get you the info. Im having my little dealings with trying to get some parts for me, hopefully you have better luck then I do, They sound cool when you talk to them but I still cant put my swaybar on..

Are there numbers on the Coils at all.. If so tell me what they are and Ill see if they are anything like mine were.

Hmmm... a machine shop might have something.. or maybe even a autorepair shop, since they use them to check the Valve springs to make sure they are ok. I dont know if those would be big enough for suspension springs tho.. You may just want to try calling around, or do a search on the internet and see if you can get any ideas of how to do it.

depending on the age of the springs tho, I think skunk changed spring rates in the last year or so.
