Default rear springs

I bought rear springs for a ZT V6 saloon last year from Rimmers - the code then for Comfort spec was RP and Light Green colour code. Just bought fronts for the same car from Rimmers with no problem.

I've just fitted some Sachs heavy duty ones from Euro Car parts. Happy with them so far (in terms of ride height, comfort and handling. Original OEM ones lasted 50k miles. OEM replacements (from Rimmers) also lasted 50k miles.

I got mine from local motor factors they ordered me some in special order.

Ordered Orange first as that was the one on the car that I looked at but on the other side was brown so checked sticker and eventually worked out they should be brown so ordered brown.

I still have a set of new orange springs if anyone is interested

Any idea if the orange springs are stiffer than the brown at all-would rather have stiffer ones on the tourer for towing.
