If it is a axis or pep spring it should be engraved in the bottom of the spring. elka uses color marks to identify rates and tcs is the last 3 numbers on the spring.

Does Elka have a chart that identifies the different rates?

[Colby@C&DRacing]

What color stripes are on the springs? I will look it up for ya

[Scro]

The only stripe I see is on the main spring, and it is blue. Would I need to take the others springs off to be able to see the stripe?
