Shock part number ?
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.

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.
