Default Valve Spring Tech

I did some searching and havent found a concrete answer. What are the colors of the dual valve spring sts for ITR. I had some springs installed not thinking the spring rates are different from intake and exhaust. I am use to using aftermarket springs which can go anywhere.. Anyone know where there is a chart or a for sure answer what colors go where and what all colors do the itr springs have

Thanks
Russ

Can anyone confirm for for a fact that the itr valve springs the intake and exhaust are different? Are they both the same seat pressure? All the specs i have been finding on the springs they make no mention of the any of the springs being different from intake or exhaust side. anyone got a credible link to any info would be outstanding
THanks

They are different part numbers from honda so I'd assume they aren't the same.
Just swap them out and put them on the correct sides. It's not hard to do at all.

Swapping them isnt a problem by any means. I have 2 sets of dual ITR springs and both sets the paint is wore and i am not able to tell the differences. all the spring heights are the same and all the inner diameter appear to be the same. I hate to scrap these and go with a known aftermarket set. With out putting in a test machine or find a shop that has one i know no other way to tell either apart .. anyone got any ideas?

Machine shop can pressure test them for cheap. Just do that and if the pressure is close just roll with it.

Call the dealer or do a spring rate check look in the book too see what the spring rate is.
