jondimellow, page 1

completely normal, yours are double powdercoated, so they are actually better than the old ones (for not scratching the springs paint at least)

According to Tanabe, they changed the colors several times. First was light orange with white text, then they started powder coating with reddish orange and black text, and now the newest ones are double powder coated red with black text. For some strange reason the box still shows orange on the front. confusing!

I currently have Tanabe GF210's on the car and it starting to look like I will need front and rear camber kits. Im not sure what the specs are right now, I haven't looked at the printout but I do see my tires wearing unevenly (the back more than the front). And yes, I did align the car when the springs were installed.

They are used to be red, but Tanabe revised the color to orange.
