I just got my front coil springs that I ordered from Rick's. They look like they have been painted a natural color. The books say that the correct color should be natural. Has anyone used these springs from Rick's and are they ready to use or do they need painted. All of the parts received looked great. Thanks for any feedback.

Original factory-installed coil springs were unpainted - just natural steel finish as they came out of the coiler (and they didn't take long to start rusting). Over-the-counter service springs were painted so they wouldn't rust in warehouse storage. graemlins/thumbsup.gif
