    Default black springs?

    what company makes black coloured springs, i just wanted some second hand really low springs and ended up getting a pair of black unknown branded springs and some lovell superlows (rear aswell) for 100 bucks, does anyone know who makes black springs?

    yeah , no-one makes lowered springs in black , you may want to check and make sure they havent been cut with a grinder
    Its not what you know or who you know , its how well you can fake it

    They could also be FE2. All stock Holden springs are black including FE2. Theres no performance suspension company around with a black spring other than the Pedders Touring. Lovells, Dobinson, Noltec, Whiteline, King Springs etc. etc. all use coloured springs. So its either FE2 or Pedders Touring springs:
    * Pedders Touring Springs are built to industry standards (thus less than Pedders premium SportsRyder range) and priced for the performance motorist on a budget.
