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

Great news on the emissions sticker. Thank you. They don't smog test in Alabama anyway so the standard set up would be fine here. I'd just as soon keep the 5 HP as well. I thought there may be a way to identify the sports suspension on a GT by sight. I originally posted "ST-204" but I thought that was a GT. Must have misread something on another page.
