Yellow struts and silver springs?

I just picked up a 1994 Trans Am. It is lowered and handles really well. The previous owner said the owner before him mentioned Hotchkis. He's not a car guy, he just really liked the car. So today I peered under the car and found silver springs and yellow struts, but couldn't see any defining logos or stickers or anything from the little vantage I have without using a jack, the car is too low for mine to slide under. A friend said it could be a Strano package.

Does any of this ring a bell? What vendors offer these color parts?

There are probably others, but Bilstein shocks and Summit's house-brand springs are yellow and silver, respectively.

Bilstein and Koni are yellow. There may be other brands.

Strano's springs are white.
