If so what color are they and do they have any markings on the spring to identify them as suspension techniques. And are the struts (front) blue, for thier blues.

I belive the ST springs are dark, either gray or black. I would imagine that they would be marked with their prodcut number at a minimum. Tokico high pressure shocks and stuts are painted blue. Hence the nick name Tokico "Blues". The Illuminias are white.

Suspension Techniques springs are a shade of gray and the only marking on them are little stickers on the front springs, saying "Front"!

Matt

Oh btw, I'm selling a set of ST front springs now, check the 1st gen classifieds.

I'm about to get my GSL-SE suspension and the seller says he'll throw in tokiko blues and ST springs for a good price. In the pictures he gave me I can no doubt see the rear shocks are tokiko blues, but the front have no color to them. I asumed the fronts should be blue, but I'm not sure if the boot is covering the strut.

If the fronts are installed, you will not be able to see them, they are inside of the strut housing. You will have to disassemble to verify.
