Aftermarket blue springs?

I recently came across a pair of springs for the amazing sum of $0 for an FB, however I have no idea what they are being an FC guy. They are blue, and completely unmarked. Anyone know of any aftermarket, blue painted, but otherwise unmarked, springs for an FB?

My Eibachs are Black..

Tokico offers "Blue" shocks, but I have never seen Tokico springs. I wonder if they are blue as well.

Blue = TMC or ST
Red = Tokico
Black/grey = Eibach

Looks like there was once upon a time, looks kinda like a blood/katsup stain now.

Might be a red dot spring from G-force engineering.

My Tokico springs are light blue, like the shocks. Bought them used, so they may be an older model than the red ones Web777 mentions.

My Tokico springs are fire-engine red and are more than likely the last production run they made for the 1st gen's (they were purchased 3 years ago and are no longer offered by Tokico)

i have BLUE springs.
they're TMC. unmarked.
if they're marked with a brand name not a forged one, then they're that brand name.


TMC were sold many years ago. after TMC, some companies began to paint them BLUE.
