Mine are gold. The CS ones are still gold. The rest are green from what I know.

So I finished the install tonight. The EDFC and SPC rear camber kits are installed. I’m getting new rear tires and an alignment tomorrow morning.
The ride is awesome! On full hard it has a good sporty feel just like my H&R springs but seems to perform better under medium cornering conditions than they did. Under full soft it's a very stock like feel but gets nice and firm in mild to medium conditions which I was not expecting. A good feeling that you can be comfortable but still have some sport on demand. I was not sure what to expect but I can say for sure that it was a very good buy. Now the only other real test is to go on a canyon run or track day which won't be for a couple weeks. I'll continue to update this with opinions as time goes on. So far I feel this is a great kit for someone like me who does what I would consider aggressive street driving 99% of the time.

They have been on for about a week now.
After the settle they ride a little softer than my progressive H&R springs did on soft bumps and better on hard ones on the soft setting. On the hard setting they are a bit stiffer, still not bad and very good for hard driving. If the weather is good this weekend I am going to try and make a mountain run up in Prescott to see how they really do.
They have proven to be a great product and well worth it for the daily driver who still wants some good performance for hard driving. The only thing that would make them any better is even more range in control.

Sorry, I have been so busy I've been at work until after dark the last few days. There is not too much to see but I'll try to get some this weekend. 
I guess a pic of the navi spot at night would be funny, it looks like a Christmas tree now with the red utec tuner, blue greddy ebc and green tein edfc lights.
