My left front strut has the part # 993.343.041.38. The color is green and marked made in Belgium.
After referring to Robin's site and the M030 part's list provided ala Viken, suggested is this strut is NOT a M030 specification strut.

Here's my dilemma, Porsche AG was to have changed out the stock/standard USA C2S suspension for a ROW M030 suspension while the car was in country last summer.
Now I'm not so sure.

This was the standard Carrera S and 4S suspension in the ROW. In other words, a 30 mm lower standard suspension and NOT M030 sport.

Thanks Viken:
The left rear shock is part number, 993.333.051.37

BTW, the springs for each suspension type are also dedicated to each of them.

Thank you, Viken.

993.343.531.04 - blue dots - M033 front spring.
993.333.531.21 - white dots - M033 rear spring, car without A/C
993.333.531.22 - red/purple dots - M033 rear spring, car with A/C

Many thanks !
A visit to Werk 1 is in order as I'll be in Germany on Monday.

The rear springs are non - A/C spec. ROW to boot.
What were these guys thinking!

Thanks again.
