Take the car out, red line the motor and pop the clutch. Take a turn and see if the car slides really funny.

Sorry other then pulling the wheel off and looking at it no idea.

Take the wheel off.
Look at the bushing. If there is a rubber cap under the bolt, its stock. If not, its eliminated.

Second picture down shows the large bulging rubber cap under the bolt. If that cap is there, its got the stock DTSS.
