Bret and Arnaldo you are correct it is the orange Chevy engine color. I re-did mine and the color is a exact match. Any auto store.

I've found that the sport "yellow" shocks are very orangeish....

The little bit of paint still left on the shock tops almost looks like ( GASP ) Chevy orange. A very easy color to get, what do you think?

Probably red.

Black = Classic (old cars)
Red = Standard
Yellow = Sport

Check www.koni.com

What I have heard, there are no difference between red and yellow damper except for the settings. I.e. you can open them up and change the setting to a more sporty mode and you have now a "yellow" Koni Sport.

I was also told that since Ferrari is such a sporty car the setting in the red standard dampers are quite stiff and because of that there are no yellow dampers for Ferrari.

Oops, don't seems to be the answer on your question and I'm not even sure that I'm right...


Ciao
Peter
