Front and rear spring color codes

Does anyone know where I can find the chart, listing the color codes for the springs? What cars came with the red / blue spring? Im not sure where to find this.

Thank you-

Matt

hey, could either of you do me a favor real quick and measure the outside diameter of the w123 springs? i mean, the entire spring, not just each coil. sprung or unsprung, doesn't matter. also, if anyone could get the total unsprung height of any w123 spring, and list the part number off it, that would be great (front and rear if possible)

You probably want the shortest springs: 123 321 26 04, L = 442 mm and it's one of the thickest coils @ 16 mm with a 17.45 mm/1000 N travel. Shortest rear is 123 324 41 04, L = 339 @ 16.6 mm with 12.59 mm/1000 N travel.

As I have no access to my car at the moment, would you please let me know if it's possible to know what color code are my rear coil springs on my 2006 ML500. I know it can either be Pink or White. I have the part number for both but don't know which one belongs to my car.
164 324 02 04 Pink 1x
164 324 04 04 White 1x
Thanks

Assuming he's still on this website or alive even then he might help you but I doubt it.

Especially since this thread has nothing to do with a ML500
