Brown coil

I just picked up a set of 3rd gen. coilovers for my 08. What are the brown coils?

I’m not familiar with any coils that come painted brown. Posting a pic would definitely help us identify the spring for you.

 

Is it Friday yet?

 

Previous owner liked the color of poop so painted his springs to match?

 

Are all the coils brown or just one? Toyota did put a brown band towards the top… can’t say what it was for? Stole this pic from another thread.

 

That's what I was referring to. For those that want pics I will work on trying to do that. I'm not very smart but I can lift heavy things. Thanks for the help.

 

I noticed the brown coil on mine,,,, just a guess, but it's a factory designation for various spring rates

 

Mine look like that and I got them new.

 

Not sure why they’re brown but yeah it’s normal…

 

The colored paint dots are spring codes. White and yellow should be left and right. I forgot which is which but the rear lelf springs part numbers are painted white and yellow also.

The wrap near the top is a insulator. It helps with noise from the coils banging together. Most factory springs are progressive so these coils will bind first. You see these on a lot of different vehicles
