Default 98+ Integra RS vs Integra LS

I know that the LS has more luxury items than the RS, can anyone tell the major differences between them? Correct me if I am wrong (Cause I probablly am),

Differences (LS vs RS)
•Power Windows vs Manual Windows
•All Disc Braking vs Disc in the front and drum in the rear
•Alloy Wheels vs Steelies with Hubcaps
•AC vs No AC

Any I missed? Any I that are incorrect?

The reason why I want this info is because I live in a very crappy place for a car to drive (Extremely Cold Winters, HUGE pot holes, Loads of Salt and Dirt, etc...) and I want manual windows so I can roll my windows down when they freeze up, I don't need AC it steals engine power and gas, and I am going to buy different wheels anyway. So the only thing left is the brakes which absolutely must be all disc brakes, which I hope the 98+ RS has.

All g3 'Tegs have disc brakes.

Also...

Moonroof vs none
ABS vs Non-ABS
Painted Sidemoldings vs not painted

RS has no sunroof and the sidemoldings aren't color matched. The last model year for the RS was 98.

Thanks for the info DC4KiD, ABS was somthing I hadn't even thought about, and I most definitly want ABS, my current teg brakes lock up really easily in the winter going down a hill, even when I gently (And I mean gently) pump them.

And BTW slamdLScivic I did search before I posted but I didn't search using the same text, I tried "integra rs brakes" and "integra brakes" because I was mostly concerned with the brakes, the other differences were not a big deal. However your search string is much more intelligent lol

get an RS. You won't regret it for your application. In addition, you'll save alot of money. I presume that it have better mileage too since it is lighter than the LS.

I am not looking for luxury... I am looking for no frills with good braking is all.

It's hard to say differences....

each year the RS and LS came out, there were changes to both trim levels... from 94 right up until 01 the RS/LS/SE models all changed.

RS did not have cruise control, ABS, sunroof or power door locks and the mirrors and moldings were not painted but it didn't matter to me cause the RS was black.
