Default Stock shock color?

I just saw this link on ebay for some stock 993 shocks. My shocks are actually green. I have a 1997 C4S. Did Porsche have different color stock shocks?

Just curious.

There is a lot of interesting info about 993 suspension here: http://p-car.com/susfaq.html

mine are green came with M033 suspension they are monroes, will probably replace them with bilstien HD when they are worn. Are the Bilstien's that much better than stock, and is the ride any rougher?

Yes, they are much better and they ride firmer but not rougher.

For the 993, the colors of the dampers were:

- M029 ROW standard: Green
- M032 USA standard: Green
- M033 ROW lowered: Green
- M030 ROW & USA sport: Red/Orange

My 95 had Boge shocks installed, I can't even remember what color they were.
