Help with GT Base to Performance Pack Suspension Question

[samcrac]

Hello,

I am planning on doing lowering springs to my car and figured if I could get a set for relatively cheap, I might as well throw on some Performance Pack shocks/struts since I'm already going to be taking them off. I had my wheel off the other day and this was the sticker on the front damper (base suspension):



I inquired about someones takeoff performance pack dampers and they sent me these photos:





Is there any way I can be positive that these are off a performance pack? I notice one of the numbers matches the one off my car? Thanks for your help!

The part numbers at this link don't even look close to what I'm looking at in either case:

The numbers on parts aren't the part number, they're an engineering number. Similar but not useable to compare. This is all Ford parts. You have to have a dealer convert them to part number. The Strut crosses to a PP part number, the rear doesn't come up in the system.

Quick Ford part number class. The middle numbers are called the basic number, they tell what kind of part it is, 15200 is a fog light no matter what vehicle, 6006 is an engine. The First letters/numbers are ment to tell what it fits, FR3Z you'll notice most 15 Mustang Parts are FR3Z. I'm not up on the post 2000 part numbers, in the older days it was 1st digit was decade (C 60's, D70's E 80s, F 90's), second letter was year, last two said what line IE TZ was trucks), since 2000 I don't know how all this works. The last letters tell what version of the part, IE V6, 4 cyl, performance pack, etc, so most of the part number should be the same except the last letter(s).
