  • FMS Lowering Springs , Black??

    Hey all , thought i would get my knowledge from a reliable source from my buddies on ff.com.. Well i have owned more then one set of fms lowering springs in my life , but as most of us know its a bit hard to get in touch with roger to order stuff. So i bought a set of fms springs on ebay he had listed, i also noticed he had stockers available that are black in color. And i have alwase known the lowering springs to be red , i sent a message on ebay to fms when i received the springs wondering if they sent me the stockers by accident because the ones i received are black. And roger told me the springs are black now and not red anymore..? He asked me for the Part # and i was wondering if anyone else could confirm it with me that these are in fact the lowering springs. The part # i see on them is '75727 T255434' . Let me know ,thanks!!

    Don't know about the part numbers, but if they are like the red ones then two of them should be dual rate. Also, if you measure the uninstalled length and material diameter, someone can compare them to stock springs. I have a set of stock springs I can measure if you need me to.

      I've read this a few times now, the black and red ones are the same thing, just over time they decided to paint them black instead of red

        Don't their site say the part numbers?
        Go to their site and see what part number is. Should be the same if they are the right ones.
