swood - 18/5/11 at 09:08 PM

Am building albeit very slowly a MK Indy with 2L Injection Pinto that was part started, its now running and am checking suspension set up and have noticed slightly different Coil Overs front & back does anyone know if there is a difference in spec / performance apart from that stated in the following.
Front have a Blue Gaz Label with 8" 300 Coil Springs, strut is stamped up130/090 B12 C.1
Rear have Gold Gaz label with 8" 150 Coil Springs, strut is stamped up 130/090 B12 C.2
What signifigance if any does the C1 or C2 Have and are they fitted correctly front & back.
Any advice would be gratefully recieved.

And the answer is:- the letter denotes the year of manufacture,
I e mailed Gaz and recieved an answer within an hour - great PR
He said they were absolutely identical in terms of spec, just been made a month or so apart - may be older stock, the colour label was purely a marketing thing and had nothing to do with type etc.
Now on to overhauling steering rack !
