Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

(If anyone's upgraded to ROW and has used US M030 springs for an 03/04 986S Tip, I'm looking!
Leading evidence: 'Use us m030 springs' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use us m030 springs' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I was just wondering if someone could tell me how I can tell the difference. I have Mo30 suspension (030 code under the hood) but just don't know if it is ROW or US? Any help would be appreciated.
more like 10 mm (not 1.5")

AND your springs have painted "bands" on them... take a look, those are coded to tell you what springs they are...(US or ROW)
IIRC it says M030... not 030, but I dont follow codes since I dont have a sticker on my car, never had any to look up
Post #3 is a good looking list

Note the single color stripe at the top of the spring denotes the spring group (length variation due to process differences) and could be either white or green for any of the spring packages (USA standard, USA sport, or ROW sport).
the stripes toward the bottom of the springs will be:
USA Std Front: Brown-Blue
USA Spt Front: Gray-Blue
ROW Spt Front: Green-White
USA Std Rear: Brown-White
USA Spt Rear: Gray-White
ROW Spt Rear: Green-White
This is exactly why I ask. Turns out that my front springs have paint marks that are Blue & Grey while my rear springs have a Green mark as well as a Grey & White paint mark on them. My MO30 sway bars also have Green paint marks on them.
Don't the springs also vary by engine, transmission, C2/C4, model year, etc? I felt like a forensic scientist trying to figure out what the hell springs were put on my Tip since they don't match the service manual, and trying to figure out what would the right US M030 are.
Speaking of which, US M030 is OK for SCCA stock class, but ROW M030 will push you into stret prepared. (If anyone's upgraded to ROW and has used US M030 springs for an 03/04 986S Tip, I'm looking! I've otherwise given up.)
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
