I need a little help here. These springs were off a DE car. They were used with PSS9's. Are these springs US, ROW or something else completely different?

Color codes:

2 Green stripes 1 Orange

3 Orange stripes

See attached pics. Thanks for the help

IIRC, There has been much discussion on color and number of stripes... and it has been a bit heated (never happens here!)
There are other threads but per Jeff's DIY (excerpt):

In the event one is trying to distinguish which of the many Porsche springs are currently on their car or received from their supplier, the following paint color markings should prove helpful (thanks to Viken for the info):

Front Springs:

ROW M029: 993.343.531.00 - Red
ROW M033: 993.343.531.04 - Blue
ROW M030 & Turbo: 965.343.531.01 - Orange/Green
USA M032: 964.343.531.11 - Green
USA M030 & Turbo: 964.343.531.12 - Orange

Rear Springs:

ROW M029: 993.333.531.02* - Violet or 993.333.531.03* - Grey
ROW M033: 993.333.531.21* - White or 993.333.531.22* - Lilac
ROW M033 Carrera S/4S: 993.333.531.23 - Pink
ROW M030: 993.333.531.11 - Brown
ROW Turbo: 993.333.531.16 - Red
USA M032: 993.333.531.18* - Gold/Yellow or 993.333.531.19* - Silver
USA M032 Carrera S/4S: 993.333.531.18 - Gold/Yellow
USA M030: 993.333.531.13 - Light Blue
USA Turbo: 993.333.531.17 - Yellow/Green

* Depending on vehicle equipment: With or without air conditioner in combination with wheel size and transmission version.

Thank you Mark I am heading to Jeff's DIY

Edit: At least according to Jeff's awesome pics these are ROW you can see that the 1st series of shots it clearly shows the 2 green and 1 orange stripe being installed. The second series all I could make out was 1 orange stripe.

Jeff:

any help on this one

Mark, thanks for the color codes. I checked my car and I have the ROW MO29 springs - Red front & violet rear.

Does anyone know the ride height and spring characteristics of the ROW MO29 as compared to ROW MO30?

geolab

the second series is three brown stripes, looks orange though but its three brown.
if you're to install those, specify three stripes in the back, for there are spacers specific
for each number of stripes

anyone?

So,

I have looked at a lot of spring color code threads and I have a 'weird' situation i want to try to confirm.


My car is USA 2/94 build 993 C2. It had option 030 (as well as LSD & ABD---so a nice sporting option package).

A previous owner put Eibach springs on but included the "original" springs with the car.

The original springs codes I got are (see pic):
2 green +1 orange stripe: front
2 light blue stripes: rear

So according to the schedule of springs below, I have ROW front 030 and USA rear 030 springs.

IS THIS POSSIBLE? 94's were super early cars (in the US) and they were evolving as we know as the production run moved forward.

I have no reason to believe these springs did NOT come on my car, just want to get some validation that anyone else has heard of this or believes it possible/probable?

I am going to probably sell the springs soon and want to give an accurate description.

Thanks!!

PS----pardon my crappy picture----the right stripes are light blue
