Some '98 9K's did come w/Aero springs...

This has been posted numerous times before on this board.
There was even a thread started where Aero owners posted the color bands on their springs, along with the year of the car and what type tranny.
As it turns out, some '98 9K's have '97 Aero springs. This was determined by comparing the color bands between the two model years ('97 Aero vs. '98 CSE).
The style of spring is determined by many factors, such as what accessories the car has, what tranny, US/European-spec, etc. And it differed from year to year. For the '98, I don't know why some came with Aero springs, and others didn't--there wasn't even a correlation with how late into the model year the car was manufactured.
Here are the color bands again:
FRONT: Orange-White-Yellow-White-Orange (M/T)
Orange-Green-White-Green-Orange (A/T)
REAR: Yellow-Green-White-Green-Yellow (BOTH)
These springs were also called the "Sports Suspension" option in earlier models.
As for the dampers (shocks), not many people posted on this, but the few that did matched what I have in mine: # 46 46 758.
ALL '98 9k's came with 19mm sway bars, front AND rear (18mm bushings will NOT fit on a '98, no matter what the parts supplier tells you!).
And I can say, after owning a '97 CSE, and now my '98 CSE, the '98 definitely holds the road better in all aspects.
