Default Springs

Does anyone know the meaning of the color codes on the rear springs?
This has been asked before but I've been unable to find an answer.

My '96 Covertible has all 4 marked in blue.
My '93 Coupe has 3 red and one white.
All sit at the same height out of the car.

I don't know the colour codes, but there are different springs for sportspack vs non sportspack, coupe vs convertible and 4.0 vs 6.0.

I have read somewhere, that the color codes is just used to indicate matching springs. This means springs for similar cars can have different coding.

I think standard springs are blue and sportspack yellow. Might be the other way around but the dear ones are sportspack. I think the convertible uses sportspack

Correct me if I am wrong, but I was told all 95 &m 96 coupes were equipped with the sportpack springs and I am looking for a set. Has anyone experience the difference in the ride and handling between the sportpack and standard springs?
