Noticed on the 2004 Cayenne Parts list there are 4 different part numbers for the front springs. Each has a different dot color combination:

955 343 533 03 - marked yellow
955 343 533 04 - marked yellow, yellow
955 343 533 05 - marked gold-colored
955 343 533 06 - marked gold-colored, gold colored

I looked at the order guide and didn't see any different versions of the steel spring suspension. Anyone aware of what the differences are?

The Cayenne S springs I have are marked with 3 dots gold-colored, gold-colored, light blue.

Thanks!

While only a guess, it is likely that variations in accessories require different spring rates which the different color combinations denote.

Offroad hit it on the head. Different spring rates for V6, V8, TT, or option content yielding in varying front weight rating.

The yellow dot marked springs would be for a V6 front, the gold markings are for a V8 front. There are 2 different sets per engine size, so 4 total spring sets for the front axle.

The rear axle there are 3 different sets per engine for a total of 6 sets available. the V6 has a grey dot or dots and the V8 has a white dot or dots.

And, as we all know, the TT is not available in steel spring suspension.
