These are the stock bee-hive springs (not dual springs):

New they may have been blue or yellow but, not with miles ;o)

Aftermarket depends on brand. These are BTR dual spring .660 with titanium retainers:

GMPP (Chevy):

Bee-hive next to a dual spring:

Some aftermarket springs can be a bee-hive design, thus it depends...

Hope that helps...
