Is LS suspension the same as GSR's?
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.

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

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?

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.
