I stand by the statement: There were RoW markets in which the M033 Sport Suspension was optional for the '97 & '98 Carrera S model.

Steve - Not sure if jargon has unsettled you, or, what I'm hearing is the sounds of a whiny bitch. .. The Porsche AG 993 buyer prospectus calls the readers attention to the unique S models "Sport Suspension being -10mm lower" in ride height compared to the standard Carrera suspension.

"it's your other statements" - Please be specific.

I might be a whiny bitch but you are thick as a brick....
for the umpteenth time, yes, there was a sport suspension for the S cars in ROW locations

You say it was standard, it was not, per Gert. The sport package was a swap from 33 to 30 and the red shocks
you seem to keep saying that Germany had some sort of different suspension than every other
ROW country- not true

You are searching for something that either never existed or no longer exists based upon the boutique treatment
that your car got when shipped to Germany. Maybe a good idea would be to stop trying
to convince those who know more than you, like Gert, that you are correct- give it a break!

Default Porsche AG Running Gear Tech Data, 911 (1997)

Steve, Jethro Tull et al -

Digging into the Porsche AG 993 barrel, this will shed some light on the RoW Carrera S VS the USA Carrera S running gear (chassis)

Stubborn:
1. your chart disproves your statement that your German modified car has larger sway bars than USA bars
2. the other confusion that you have spread is that the porsche classic red shocks are to be mated to the 33 spring set- which is the comfort spring-
nowhere can I nor sunset nor anyone else find any evidence of this.... So to clarify, red is designed to be mated with 30 springs and green with
33.
yes you can mismatch the shocks and springs but it is anyone's guess as to what will be achieved....
