Original spring colour and rates

[steve-V8s]

In the shed I have a set of original springs from my 98 500 one pair is red and the other yellow. Can’t see any numbers on them that may indicate the spring rate. Any idea which set was the front and what the standard rates were ?

I cannot help with the spring rates however I am fairly sure my Griff is still running the orginal springs and as per the photograph below the fronts are red and the rears are yellow:

Thank you for the quick reply.

I see your car had the rare wooden seat option rather than the more common full hide.
