Shock Springs

[LS1]

I see that there are different color ratings for shock springs and wanted to know which ones are the stiffest and which ones are the softest. Is purple the stiffest and yellow the softest?

Thanks

Are the springs with a higher rate stiffer?

I'm glad you asked LS1!!!! I've been able to find the spring rates but have been wondering that myself!!!

Higher rate = Stiffer

All the stock revo spring are red. Check by the end of the spring there are a little dot there with different colour, that is what the colour mean.
