Default 993TT US vs ROW spring

Comparing my recently deinstalled ROW spring against the original US version, notice that the ROW front spring is progressive while the US look linear.

On the other hand the ROW rear spring are much shorter than the US version.

I was comparing my springs when I swapped them a few weeks ago. US M030 vs ROW M030. The rear springs measure identically wire diameter and coil spacing etc., just almost a coil shorter. I'll bet there's a guy at the factory that just cuts off that coil and relabel the spring as ROW

The fronts are definately progressive...

Chris:

Notice though on the picture that the ROW version looks a little bit denser (coils are packed closer) than the US version

FWIW, the rear springs for the Turbo and normally aspirated are different. The fronts are the same.
