    gt500 kr leaf springs

    Is it possible that the leaf spring stripe color for a kr is 1 orange stripe?

    Yes, it is very possible. As a matter of fact, it's what I would expect. One stripe on the smallest leaf, behind the shock mounting plate.

    Here's a chart of all the spring color codes used on 68 Shelbys (bottom of the page):

    It is funny how all the springs on my cars and the others shown in the photo all have the same date. They must have done a big run.
