I'm considering buying the fronts only. I presume the smaller dia. coils marked with the grey and pink dots are the fronts??

btw- are the touring, sport, and nismo springs very different in terms of ride height and stiffness? I'm looking for a set to experiment on a g35x.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I just did my spring install last week, and as I remember (and how I think I packaged them in the aftermarket box), the fronts have 1 pink and 1 grey dot (and the are on the top), and the rears had 2 pinks and 1 brown dot (dots represent the top of the spring). good luck.

no difference between sport and touring-- same spring is used for all non-nismo models.

thanks and good to know!
Sport or touring springs are likely what I'll go for in this case. I'm somewhat surprised they would be the exact same spring.

Red_Zed; PM me to let me know your price+shipping if you're willing to ship just the front touring springs.
