Default Lowered springs

Hey all,

A couple of years ago now I got given a pair of lowered springs. Our mate worked for Pedders and a customer came in with an EA. The customer got it lowered, went away, then came back the next day and said he wanted it lower still. So when the one-day-old pair came off the car, our mate put them aside for us and gave them to us for free. They've been sitting there for two years, collecting dust.

I was talking to Thanatos about it a while ago now and when he asked me what colour they were, and I said orange, he said they never made orange coloured ones for Fords as far as he knew. I told him they must've been from some Eastern Bloc country - probably fit a Lada or something lol.

Does anyone else know who made orange ones? I don't want to just chuck them out, maybe if I know for sure I could sell them on or give them away to someone who's car they'd actually fit???

If they are indeed a cheapie version of the ones to fit the EA, I would like to lower the front slightly because of the gas tank, meaning she sits a little heavier in the back.

No, they are not dirty yellow, nor are they faded red. They are orange, plain and simple :P Ideas anyone?

My Mum has orange Superlow springs in the rear of her VS. At the time when I had them installed I was sure the guy told me they were Kings, which doesn't make sense because Kings are yellow.
