If your springs are red, they are probably Racing Beat. The RB springs on my first gen are red. Look at them really close and see if they have Racing Beat printed on the coils.

Black. Struts were black also. On my T2, I have pink and white paint dabs also, don't remember if it was left/right, or front rear. Definately marked to match the factory build sheet though....

I also have red springs. I dont know what they are, neither did the previous owner. I looked at one of them and saw white numbers but couldnt see any thing that resembled a brand name.
