Default Real Time Damping Question - Which Suspension do I Have

I have real time damping on my 98 6 spd. Trying to figure out what the suspension it is. I know there is a FE1, FE3, and Z51 suspension. Which one goes with the real time damping??? Or is real time damping its own stand alone suspension? Thanks

Thanks for the info. What I was really interested in finding out is what suspension is the f45 option equipped with... the FE1 (soft) or the FE3 (firm)?

ZO6 or Z51 antiroll bars will bolt right up and improve handling with no codes....
