Are the suspensions on the 98'+ LS and GSR's the same? (Springs, shocks, swaybars)? TIA

Well, I don't know about the 98+ tegs, but here's how it was when they first came out.

The shocks/springs were the same, but the GSR had a thicker rear sway bar (for the coupes) and also, came with a front strut bar standard. Also, the GSR's had 15" wheels standard, and lower-profile tires.

Things might have changed since then... haven't really kept up with tegs.

You sure about that? I thought the rear sway bar thickness was the same. However, the LS front bar was 24mm, and the GSR front is 22mm. To create more oversteer in a higher end car, perhaps? Isn't that why, with the ITR, the rear is even thicker?

Hmm....maybe I'm just crazy, but this is what I've thought for a long time.

'98+ COUPE specs:
RS,LS,GS and GSR have the same springs and shocks.
GSR has 24mm front sway and 14mm rear sway.
RS,LS,GS has 22.1mm front sway and 12.9mm rear sway.

Additional note:
'96 SE has 24mm front sway and 12.9mm rear sway.
'97+ ITR has 24mm front sway and 22mm rear sway.
