front, springs light green, shocks light blue
back shocks, ochre (off yellow), back spring colour not mentioned in parts I thought so would assume black but open to suggestions
would need to check parts book to be sure

Front Spring - free length 10.95" (Lt. Green) - 2600s & 186X - Pt No. 2810938.
Front Spring - free length 10.53" (Pink) - 2600S & 186X - Pt No. 2816335.

Rear Spring - free length 7.39" (Ochre) - 2600s & 186X - Pt No. 2810939.
Rear Spring - free length 7.83" (Yellow) - 2600s & 186X - Pt No. 2816336

I could be wrong but AFAIK the springs were all black. The colour reference was a daub of paint on the end of the spring to make identification quick and easy.

the from shocks are light green not blue
I painted mine, looks pretty

my front springs have the part number stamped on them but I couldn't find a number on the back ones
this could be due to replacement with a non Holden part, I had 2 new sets in my first XU1 in 10 yrs due to springs collapsing and dragging it's bum

Cheers for the info guys, yeah im lookin to replace em all as it handles pretty shithouse atm. But still wana keep it lookin as original as possible (standard height and original coloured gear.)
Can anybody suggest the best brand of replacement springs and shocks to use? I have only priced pedders so far but just read a few negative comments about em in these forums....

Kings Springs and Koni shock absorbers seem to be popular with forum members.
I've got Lovells springs in the rear of my LJ, had them in there at least 25 years, still happy with them.
Not sure if you can still get Lovells though.

Hi

About to paint the shocks and spring for an LC GTR.

Does anyone have pics I can reference the colour used?

Is this correct from the info above?

All springs = Black with daub of colour (as per Dave’s post)
1. Light green/ochre
2. Pink/yellow

Front shocks = light green

Rear shocks = Not sure?
