I have 3 pairs of springs that are different colours and different thickneses. They are zeemarides and in good condition. I just wanted to know which to use on the front.

Red are thinest
then blue
then green being the thickest.

What have otheres used on the front?

I've got blue on the front and red on the rear with a Pinto engine. They are something like 270 and 150 I think, can't remember for definite.

The red ones used to be 170lbs/in look on the ends they should be marked.

Cheers, i'll have a look. The reds are going on the back so it's just a case of fitting the blue and seeing if they are ok. If not then i can fit the green.

Cheers chaps

I have 4off red zemmerides on my RH stainless monocoque (2ltr pinto) and put them on a tester on Saturday, 2 are 170lb/in and 2 are 180lb/in, none were marked.

So I'm still at a loss with which to use or to buy new

170 are fine on the back but you need 270+ for the front so i beleive.

oh, I've heard people say that the front as standard is too hard, haen't got a clue at the moment, gonna post on RHOCAR and see what they say, Thanks
