questions about sport package option

[rsfeller]

where can I find the details of what this includes other then that listed on the window sticker I have

It states: 17" wheels, cruise, hifi stereo, remote control alarm and rear wind deflector.

I thought I read the sport package tweaked sway bars and posibly springs/struts to?

the reason i'm inquiring is I need new from struts (rattling quite a bit) and wondering if I need to match a specific code. I see the MO12, MO13 and MO30 on the option code list. Which do I have and what does it include?

thanks.

That's part of my question. The window sticker I have makes no mention of the package code, it simply says Sport Package $3,235 and then lists 5 N/C items under it! Those 5 items make no mention of hardware only tires, stereo, wind deflect, alarm and cruise control. So is this US spec sports package simply a convienence package?

It sure looks that way. I guess I thought the package code might be listed on the window sticker.

At the risk of mentioning something that you already know, M030 is the only optional factory installed suspension for Boxsters. The only way I can think you can easily check to see if you have M030, is to see if it is listed as an option code on the label affixed to your front hood/trunk--look for "030" in the codes listed at the bottom of the sticker. Another way is to look at the springs: Front springs marked blue and white are standard; front springs marked red and white are M030 (for your '97). Rear springs marked blue and yellow are standard; rear springs marked red and brown are M030 (for your '97 5-speed).

Dollars to donuts you can read a part number off of the shocks, too. Standard front shocks for your '97 are 986.343.041.02, which has been superseded by 986.343.041.04. M030 front shocks for your '97 are 986.343.041.13, which has been superseded by 986.343.041.17.

Yep that's it! So I got the standard suspension I'm guessing then as any upgrade would have been a cost item on the window sticker...
