No other codes? Could be any number of things. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=897616Quote:

Just the one. I cleared it and will see if it returns. Thanks.Quote:

Is there a way to verify what part number my suspension is without taking off the strut?
My dad's ZSP is a good half inch lower than my car. Just about every ZSP seems to be lower than my car.
This is a 17x8.5" with a 245/40/17 tire. Quite a bit more gap in there than the ZSPs I see with OEM style 68s.

Thoughts?
I'm far from an expert, but seems to me that the springs are the only thing that should affect that. I suppose it's possible that your car could have a 'non-standard' strut with the lower spring perch at a different position, but that seems unlikely. All that being said, I don't know how you could tell if the spring height is correct without removing it from the strut and either comparing to a correct spring or measuring it and trying to find some data that tells you what the height should be...
(fat lotta help I am, eh?!)
Springs have part numbers stamped on them.
Is it usually in the same spot? I don't have the ability to take the strut off :/
Usually yes. It is either a part number or a color stamp. Might be able to see it with the wheel removed.
Any idea where I can get information on the color stamp?
That I'm not sure. Maybe do a Google search ?
While we're on the topic of suspension. I have sachs shocks/struts in the rear. Where can I find the production date on these bad boys?
