HI guys,

Its been 3 years with the car and now its going back to honda. Im installing my stock springs and taking out the espilers. However, I forgot which springs belong on the front vs. the back. I have a 2003 s2k, and I read somewhere that the 00-01 is softer in the front and the 02-03 is firmer in the front.

I just want to clarify if that info is correct. I can tell that there are two springs firmer when squeezing than the other two, so I assume that goes in the front...

Thanks guys!!!! ITs been fun!

Also, there are three colored dots on each set of springs.

THere are 3 blue dots on two of them and on the other two springs are a blue, orange, blue dot.

all blues in front...
I did a search last month when I did the exact same thing.

The myth has been debunked. Not only are MY02-03 rear springs still stiffer than front, they're still stiffer (+3.3%) than MY00-01 rear springs.

MY00-01 spring rates:
-- Front: 219 lb/in blue/blue/red
-- Rear: 291 lb/in blue/red/red
MY02-03 spring rates:
-- Front: 230 lb/in blue/blue/blue
-- Rear: 300 lb/in blue/red/blue

Seems odd that the rear is stiffer than the front. Any ideas why Honda setup the car this way?
