When I bought my car 7 years ago, the PO mentioned that my car had GT3 shocks and springs. It wasn't really a big selling point for me, so I just took his word for it. Now, I am considering selling the car and want to mention that in my ad, but how do I know for sure that I have those components? What do I look for? The car is lowered and is definitely a stiffer ride than a standard 911. Thanks!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

what color are the springs? do the shocks have numbers on them? what part number?
Black springs, I believe. Don't know the part numbers. But I will be taking the wheels off to do the brakes soon, so I can look them up. Are the numbers easy to spot?

Yes, they're easy to spot. I believe the OEM GT3 springs are red.
Red. Hmmm. Doesn't sound good. I guess I'll have to get those wheels off and look around more. Unfortunately we are expecting 1-3 inches of snow tonight! We had been thawed out for a few weeks now. Wisconsin weather... Thanks again.
I have GT3 suspension on mine. The shock body should be silver and threaded with black collars on it with red H&R springs like below: If the PO half-arsed it, it may or may not have the OEM GT3 top strut mounts.
sounds like the PO was full of **** to me.
Yeah, sounds like you're right. Although, to be fair, I don't think he was the one to do the mods. I think his PO told him the same thing. My PO didn't have it long. I'm going to get the rims off this weekend and post some pics.
