My 2009 Rabbit (2.5L) has 'stock' suspension (new aftermarket struts reusing springs). I purchased the Rabbit used, but I think the previous owner was in a accident. The problem I have is that the paint codes on the strut coils are not the same. I am wondering if anyone else has the same vehicle and can check to see what paint stripes are on your front springs?
Attached are pictures and I think the one with four stripes is wrong.
Driver's side
3 stripes -> Pink-Orange (looks yellow due to flash)-Blue
Passenger's side
4 stripes -> Pink-Orange-Blue-Blue
I only found one thread that talks about the paint codes, but it is specific to the GTI and I am pretty sure that weight of the engine is different so the paint code will be different too.
