Whats the best way to tell if its an oem top. I have bigger black springs but they arent attached. the small ones that are used arent the stock ones ive seen in pictures.

in this pic, to the far right of the pic, you'll see a small threaded hole. This is where the small spring bolts to.

Sit in the car, you'll see a large spring. now feel under that spring, hidden out of sight behind the top frame, you'll find a smaller spring that should be taught. Is it?

You haven't seen mine. It's perfect, if I do say so myself.

Looks good...good color choice. Any of my customers with Suzuka I make them go for the blue top and they love it.
