No, I believe it is the ones with the fewest wraps that are the stiffest. Has something to do with the angle of the wraps. I always use red up front and white out back.

What is strange? I said the springs with the fewest wraps would be the stiffest. That would be the black / blue. The red is medium, and the white with the most wraps is the lightest.
