Emissions & stock suspension question, Looking for a silver GT hatch Options

[NextCar]

Please forgive the newbe questions here. I have become very interested in the ST-204 hatch and would like to know:

1. How do you identify a car originally sold in CA. My concern is the more restrictive emissions controls on the car.

2. How to identify if the factory sport suspension option went onto a particular car.

I am looking at southern region 1999 cars so the struts should still be fine given anything like normal driving. I own a clean '94 Vigor but would like something lighter on its feet. My mild tuning plan would include a JDM GT rear strut brace, TRD front strut brace, header, and true cold air intake. That ought to be enough for me...assuming I can find the car I'd like to own

Thanks

a true cold air intake is going to be pretty tough to come by on a GT. I don't think anyone makes them, so you are stuck making your own. The same goes for the header. No one really makes them anymore. You can always pay lots of money to have a shop custom make some.. TRD discontinued their strut brace, but C-One and Cusco make some... pricier though.
