    This might be a crazy question but is there anywhere to get OEM spec coil springs in blue or red? I’ve done some googling and all the colored ones I find are 2” longer or for big lifts (4-6”).

    Thanks!

    Do not powder coat springs, the manufacturer can power coat springs as part of their heat treating process.
    When you powder coat springs, you risk losing the temper on the spring.
    Paint it or buy some eibachs made to the correct specs and color you want.

    I powder coated mine and have been fine but I did ask those questions prior to doing the job and they said it would be fine and they had done multiple set before
