Suspension Question

[butch199]

Good morning, great site, it has helped in the purchase and maintenance of my 996.

I purchase a 99 c2 cab that already had a lowered suspension installed. How can I identify what suspension my 996 has? The spring in the car have a yellow color. The height of the wheel well lip in the back is 25" and in the front 25 1/4". I have 18" whells with P zeros installed.

Thank for the help.

The following article might help shed some light, I would check the options sticker under the front hood and see exactly what the car came with originally, Your car might could have had ether lowering springs installed or the full M030 kit installed, you might see if there are part numbers on any of the components and those can help identify which you have.
