Need some quick input-Left vs. Right Springs?

[ARK_SWAMP_RIDER]

Just tell them to set the springs up next to each other, taller one goes on the drivers side. It isn't a huge difference, but one is noticeably taller. I know the green/gray is on the passenger side, so I believe you are right on the colors.

so i finally got around to ripping out my XREAS. One of them started leaking about 3-4 months ago and by the time I had the shop take a look today, 3 of 4 were leaking so I took all of them out. I do have some questions:

1. When I picked up my car today, I noticed they didn't install my fj front coils. They told me the thickness of the coils are the same so they didn't bother changing it out. I wasn't clear when I dropped off the car that I want the coils installed for the additional height. I didn't want to be difficult since I knew the owner and I don't REALLY need the height. Other than the 2" height, should I be worried about having the Tokico struts working with the runner's original front coils? are they really the same thickness? i don't want the new fj front struts go out sooner because the runner front coils are thinner.

2. On the service record, they said they changed out the rear coils. i remember someone mentioned the fj rear coils are thicker than the runner one. the ones i have on hand have purple paint on them. Does that mean they're runner rear coils? i don't remember seeing paint code on the fj ones before I brought the car in.

3. Assuming I have the runner coil + fj struts in the front and fj coil + fj shocks in the back, do i have anything to worry about the set up?

since I was driving around with the badly leaking suspension, i must say i'm happy with the way the car drives now. let me know what you guys think and if there is anything else i should do. i'll save the fj front coils for the future when i have to change out the struts/shocks again... THANK!

It won't hurt anything by not using the FJ front coils, but I'd really recommend it. They improved the ride a lot on mine, and that alone was worth it. I had a shop tell me the same thing, that there wasn't a difference in the springs. It's very hard to visually see the difference. The front FJ springs are slightly taller, and they are a stiffer coil, so they don't sag as much when intalled (thus providing the lift).

now i'm tempted to tell them to put the coil back on for free don't know what to do.......

i wonder if there is a difference between my 06 sports front coils vs. your 03 limited front coils. the ride still seems pretty firm to me. does anyone know?

and if i have a purple paint code on my back coils, does that mean they're runner ones not fj ones?
