Red Lowering Springs

Who makes red lowering springs? I've had great success with NM Springs but they, just like the others that I am familar with, are blue, or green, or black. I realize that I could powder coat the NM's red but if someone is making a quality lowering spring in red I would rather go that route. Eibachs are shown as red in there literature but the ones I've seen in person are black.

Hummmm, I know the Coupe is still in stealth mode, but why am I thinking it will be a "Black/Red" color combo?
