Default X73 Identification

I recently purchased a 2015 Cayman S. It does not have PASM, but due to the stiffness of the ride I suspect it is fitted with the X73 performance suspension. Unfortunately I don't have any documentation and I don't want to spend the money for a COA. How can I tell if it has the X73 option? I know it's 20mm lower ride height but I don't know what the actual number is.
Thanx.

If you post the VIN, we can look up the options for you. Could have been retrofitted however.

Post a direct side view picture and I'll tell you whether it's stock base suspension or X73/aftermarket. Pretty easy to tell from the drop alone.

Regular suspension looks like a 4x4 compared to X73. Extremely easy to tell.

Thank you. I'm surprised because my car looks pretty low already. In fact, I've bottomed out a couple times backing out of my driveway .
