Different Colour springs



  FF Clio 182
I read that on OE suspension they have different colour bands that mean what springs they are. After doing a little research i have come to this conclusion:

Springs:
Yellow band - Non cup pack
Red/White - Cup Pack

Shocks:
54mm Bolt Spacing - Non Cup pack
60mm Bolt Spacing - Cup Pack

Can anyone confirm this or is it completely wrong? Also is there different colours between front and rear?

If this has been covered else where it would be much appreciated if anyone could pass that information on.
 
  Cup In bits
My understanding is that all cars are 54mm bolt spacing except cup packed 182's at 60mm.

I'm almost positive 172 cup has yellow, white dashes on the springs and the 172 cup shockers also have yellow/whit dots.

Genuine parts just fitted to my car.
