I think the black may be the stock springs. My stock springs were black and I have RB springs now. Is there any writing on them at all?

Racing Beats springs are red. Stock springs are black. It is hard to tell from your pics but when my car is parked next to my brothers 7 (stock height) we can see the height difference, it isnt much but is noticable.

I've always understood that RB Springs are Red. Even In my updated catalogue they show them to be this. To add, my B&G's are Red too.

I don't think there is any aftermarket springs out there that are black, because the manufactures don't want them looking stock.

The guy probably just chopped the springs.
