I am gonna buy a set of ITR springs off someone local here, just wondering about:

1. Is there anything different between 2000 & 2001 ITR springs? If I had the choice, I would pick 2001 ITR springs right?

2. How do I know if they are really ITR springs & not some other stock Honda springs?
-well through my research here on HT.com, I found out a few things:

Different colour coding:
Front springs
top: gray
middle: blue
bottom: purple
Rear springs
top: blue
middle: green
bottom: purple
AS IN THE FOLLOWING PIC (Without shocks)


Different lengths:
I found on this site that the front ones are taller than the rear springs. The fronts measure 13.5" tall, but anyone know how tall the rear springs are?


Rubber sleeves on 2 of the springs??
Are they on the front 2 or the rear 2? What is the purpose of these rubber sleeves?
I can't really see these rubber on the springs in the following pic, can someone point it out for me? (also in the 1st pic you might see)
Can I take off those rubber sleeves? Should I leave them on?


Anyways, thanks if you guys can answer any of my questions

I havn't seen my springs for a while now (there in a box) but I think the height of them were close almost the same. But don't quote me on it.
