guidance please rear spring identification 2004 e320cdi sports suspension

[joecash]

Hi, have just phoned Merc for replacement rear springs for my son's 2004 E320 CDI fitted with sports suspension.
I am told there will be ether one blue blob and one green blob or one blue blob and 2 green blobs of paint.
Be grateful for guidance on where to look for these "blobs of paint" on my sons rear springs.
Merc want £62.50 plus vat for each which seems a little pricey - are there any spring manufacturers that members could recommend
Many thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,

The identification paint marks are on the coils of the spring, you may need to clean the crap off the spring first though to see them

unless your changing all four springs for after market sports springs/ suspension kit then buy the genuine ones , give the registration at the parts desk and they will give you the correct springs
