I have a 98 GS-R sedan that's been salvaged. I am currently looking to purchase a 00 GS sedan to be as my daily driver. What is the actual differences between the 2. What will I want to take off the GS-R and put on the GS that's worth my time. Obviously I intend on swapping the engine and entire exhaust. What other components are on the GS-R that is an upgrade to the GS. Brakes, Suspension, etc? Any input would be appreciated.

I think the only difference brake wise would be the rears if the GS had drums. i also don't believe the GS had the front strut bar like the GSRs do and i could be incorrect, but i think the GSR sway bar is a tad bit beefier than on the GS.

Here is a couple of links to reference:

Brakes and suspension are pretty much the same. The LS/GS cars do not have a power steering cooler vs the GSR, might not make much of a difference for daily driving, but you'll see it in the parts diagram. I gave up looking for the DC2 cooler piece and got an EG PS cooler to work...

Engine mounts are the same, but the upper power steering bracket you need to use the GSR part. You probably can use your GSR engine harness also. But you'll have to wire VTEC as the LS is missing the engine to ECU harness plug. Not sure if you can just take it out from your GSR, but I ended up running a subharness for VTEC to work.

Most of the differences are the little things like brackets and such.

GSR has a slightly thicker rear swaybar

On the later 00-01 cars, I believe they are the same between GSR and LS/GS models.
