Hi everyone

 

I'm trying to find out how to identify the correct compensation plate thickness for the 2001 Porsche Carrera 996? with assumption that the car has no compensation plate or suspension system to check the current compensation plate thickness.

 

Part number 5 from this diagram:

Also part number 3 from this diagram:

You use the line color on the spring to determine the correct compensation plate.

 

If the coil springs are exchanged, it might be necessary to use a different spring plate than before.


The following spring plates (compensation parts) are available:


Allocation of the spring plate according to the coil spring tolerance group (Code B on the coil spring / Fig. 352_99).
1 green line = 6.5 mm thick compensation part.
1 white line = 3.0 mm thick compensation part.

Porsche changed the color code for the compensation plate thickness. Does anyone know what the new color codes are relative to the plate thickness?
