How do I find out what type of suspension I have?

I bought my early '02 MCS with 62K on the clock, looking to maintain/upgrade my suspension around the 75K mark.

How does one go about finding out what type of suspension it has? Any identifying marks? The shocks look to be stock so I assume it hasn't been changed previously.

Measure the sway bar diameter.

Stock front is 22.5mm, SS+ is 24mm.
