Following are the Regular Production Option (RPO) codes, or build codes as you refer to them, for all the C5 suspensions:
FE1 Base Suspension
FE3 Sport Suspension (part of Z51 Performance Handling Package, see notes below)
FE4 Suspension System, Z06
F45 Selective Real Time Damping Suspension
F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control (Replaced the F45 suspension in model year 2003)
Your car's Service Parts Identification Label will show all the RPO codes as it was delivered from the factory. For later model year C5s, this label is on the inside of the glove box lid. For earlier model years it is on the underneath side of one of the rear compartment lid, usually the left side lid I believe. Also, the following site has one of the most comprehensive lists of C5 RPO codes that I've found:

Hope this helps.

NOTES:
- The FE1, F45 and F55 all used a number of the same components for their respective model years when it came to springs and stabilizer bars.
- RPO Z51 is the Performance Handling Package which consists of the RPO FE3 Sport Suspension and a power steering cooler. The FE3 Sport Suspension part of the package includes stiffer springs and sway bars and heavier shocks. The Z51 package could be ordered as an extra cost option on the coupe and vert for all C5 years.
Hope this helps.
