I bought from second hand a set of Spoon Sports valve springs they are in mint condition and it was a very good deal but the guy who sold to me lost the information sheet. So my problem is witch one are for inlet and witch one are for exhaust.
So i had a phone for Spoon Sports Europe and they said:

SSE - Good afternoon Spoon Sports europe.

Me – Hello, I’m phoning because I bought a set of valve springs from Spoon and I want to know witch one are for inlet and witch one for exhaust.

SSE – Bigger are inlet and smaller exhaust.

Me – Sorry but I’m not speaking about valves, I said VALVE SPRINGS.

SSE – Wait a sec.
Intake – yellow and exhaust – blue.

Me - Many thanks.

Because I really want to have 100% correct information I’ve mailed Spoon Sports USA and the mail was:

Good morning,

I just bough a set of spoon sports valve springs and I just want to know witch one are for inlet and for exhaust.

Half of them have a blue strip and other half have a yellow strip.

Thanks

Spoon Sports USA reply:

When you opened the box, they indicate for which one: Intake or Exhaust.
I think the Blue is Intake. But check the notation.

At this moment I really don’t have a clue…
For Spoon Sports Europe - Intake – yellow and exhaust – blue.
For Spoon Sports USA – Intake blue and exhaust – yellow.


Any one here knows what is the correct position?
 
let fate decide, flip a coin, heads is blue & tails is yellow, we're deciding which color is the intake.

either way you're screwed. LOL
 
From Spoon Sports Japan and for those who have some interest in the information.

This is because spoon just licences its name to be used on alot of products! :p

Like lumen EK4 says if theyre similar to factory setup then the exhaust side will be taller!

Another way to tell is with a valve-spring pressure tester, the ones with the higher spring-rate are for retrating the bigger valves (i.e. intake)

Im curious though, does anyone know te bind-height of the spoon spring sets?
