Are the actual colors always orange/red or is this for marketing purposes. I have a set of NF210's on my 350Z and they were orange/red, but that may not be the standard.

I can understand cutting DF's because they have helper coils which theoretically should not affect the spring..but NF's do not.

Good luck selling these cause you'll get alot of "heat" for the springs being cut. As noted above.

How can you tell if it as helper springs or not? Do the GF210's have helper springs?

DF 210's have dead coils on the end. NF210's dont.
