Rear Coil spring options
Does anyone know which of the rear coil springs are the heaviest rated. White, Green, Pink, or Brown. One broke and I can't seem to match capacity. It has both WHITE and GREEN paint and is 18mm wire diameter.

Mine has a white stripe and I have the factory tow package, can't say if that's the heaviest duty or not. I believe the colors also signal ride height as well, i.e Sport package vs. off-road package

Appreciate the response. I haven't been able to get a comparison of spring rates from Mercedes, and the VIN doesn't seem to help. I'm going with the WHITE springs for now unless I can get more information today. Wish I could explain the very large wire size (18mm). Wonder if it was a "Tow package" "Off road" spec?

I have the AMG sports exterior package, so at the very least, that means the white stripe is for towing and standard ride height. Offroad package has lifted ride height if not equipped with airmatic.
