Need help deciphering spring code on my car - photo attached
I bought my 2013 4s w/ 1400 miles on the clock and it had hr springs. It handled amazingly well and was bouncy, but not harsh. not much rougher than the stock springs, but too low for me.
In order to cpo the car, they put the stock springs back on. attached is a photo of the code on the springs, color stripes painted on the outside of the spring that is visible right above the tire.
Can anyone decipher these springs code? I have seen some other cars that sit a little lower than mine does (or so I think....) and I am trying to confirm they put the correct ones on my car.
Anyone have a 2013 c4s w/ regular pasm suspension? what stripes are on the springs?
Anyone else have a front spring w/ yellow on top and pink and red just below?
I just saw a c2s cab and the springs were Yellow on top and blue/green below - looked like regular pasm based on front bumper trim.
I found a c2 coupe w/ blue over orange/red.

you need to find the part # that will look like 991.xxx.xxx.xx or similar on the spring and check that with the PET catalog to determine if the springs are the correct ones for your model/spec

Larry - thanks but no can do. I don't have access to part numbers on the springs installed on my car. However depending on which car you have, they all have the correct corresponding stripes as illustrated in my pic. I saw my second c2s cab today and they both have blue up top and orange/red below. Apparently Porsche has coded their springs w/ these stripes so once they have been installed/removed etc. you don't need a part sticker to determine which spring belongs on a given car.

p.s
there is no sticker on the spring, the p/n is (or was) printed directly on the plastic casing/cover of the spring itself, certainly this was the case from the 993-997 ...
