What suspension do I have
I always thought I had the original stock suspension but now I am not sure. Can anyone tell from these pictures??
If these are not stock, will they allow me to lower the car?

look for paint stripes on the springs if they are OEM. the colors of the paint will tell you if the springs are M033, M030 etc...Unless they are aftermarket,

Not stock OEM struts. Stock OEM struts were green Monroes. From your pics I'd say you have Bilstein HDs. Do you see another sticker with a part number on it?
In any case, you can lower the car by lowering the spring perch (shown in the 2nd last photo) on the strut threads. It has been advised here to add an extra locking collar under the perch to prevent it from rotating. An alignment would be required afterwards.
Nice car! I love those classic wheels.

Don't worry most all 993 have had their struts replaced and so, I don't believe can have the original suspension. Porsche has clued in on this recently with Porsche co-branded Bilstein struts.
