There are a few, but I think they all come from the same place, PRC. You can find info on them in the sponsor forum. I know PSI also has some besides CC, but I've also seen Lunati marketing them as well. You'll have to test them to figure out the specs.

The blue band doesn't mean much......

Don't worry about that, have the springs all removed and have the shop check them for pressure at 1.750" height. They should all be within 140-145lbs there, if so they are most likely good.

If you need a replacement set get a hold of Lloyd or I and we can get a new set out to you for a good price.

The Comp ones are made in Mexico. PAC Racing was the original maker of the beehives for Comp before Comp changed to the Mexico manufacture. PAC still makes them and in the good ole USA!

PRC doesn't make springs. PRC buys them from associated spring along with Patriot, manley, and comp.

Lunati, Ferrea, and Crane buy some from us along with our own brand.

You can not go by the stripe anymore. Some of ours get a stripe and some don't.

PAC is what I meant, sorry. I wasn't sure of the manufacturer either. Thank you for clearing that up. Do you know where PSI gets theirs from?

PSI was started by ex-PAC guys. They make their own like us, but on a smaller scale.
