    So I installed my toytec coilovers yesterday. I pulled out my old 5100's but forgot to check which side came off what. One spring has two yellow paint marks and the other has a yellow and a white paint mark. Does anyone know which one is the drivers side spring? Could anyone with a 2012 DCLB 4x4 help me out and check thier paint code on the front springs? Thanks.

    Did they finally make the springs different to compensate for the taco lean???

    (Old thread I know, but i didn't want to open a new one since its the same subject.)
    Can anyone tell me what direction the paint markings are supposed to be on the(2013) Tacoma coilovers? I put in spacers and didn't pay attention to what direction the markings where in. Right now I have both towards the front of the truck. Thank you!

    Paint goes to the back of the truck at least when it is stock.

    Drivers side spring.
