The 030 vs stock suspension differences are noticable when you are familiar with the car, but subtle to detect. It can be very confusing onless you compare on the same size wheels. BTW- you should get 18" wheels to complement the suspension upgrade (unless you run 17" Hooziers.)

The color of paint stripes on the the springs is different. The struts have different part numbers. The front and rear sway bars are different.

Probably the easiest way to tell is too remove one of the sway bar mounting brackets (2 bolts in the rear) and pull off the rubber bushing. The part number stamped on the rubber bushing will match up to a specific size sway bar - which will indicate which version of suspension the sway bar is from. This is a 10 minute job that would give partial proof.


Obviously you could check the numbers on all the parts, but one rear bushing and the rear spring paint stripe codes would be enough to convince me. I say rear spring because they are harder to replace than the front struts and springs.
