My H&R Super Sport springs from Tire Rack are blue not red???
Part number on box is 52794-77 which is the H&R Super Sport number but the springs are blue and labeled 29075 VA (F) for front and 29075 HA (R) for the rear. Everywhere I have searched states they should be red, can someone or maybe a couple people confirm for me?
Thanks
Thanks

Grey are oe springs, black are sports, blue are supersports and red are race springs.

Thanks all, you guys were correct; I even called H&R just to be sure. I saw so many posts stating that "super sports" are red, they are indeed blue.

The way H&R explained to me was that Super Sports use to be in Red, now they are trying to get more stable in the color coding of the springs. They referenced the color patterns as seen on Tire Rack's site. Red would now be a race spring, however there is no race spring for the W204, at least by H&R. The blue is now the latest color for super sports, Red is for race springs, white is for Super Race, black/dark grey Sport, and light grey for OEM. H&R is also going as far as to make their vendors align the correct picture/color of spring next to the appropriate type of spring; rather than just use one H&R picture for all springs.
Hope this helps anyone in the future.

Race springs are a standardised size, like 2.5" ID, available in different lengths and rates, usually fitted to race coil-overs.

the older springs varied. If you got springs now or recently they should be blue for supersports and red for sports. If not you got older springs the new ones are coiled a little different and have diff plastic coil seperators on the vari coils......
