Honestly, even if there was a slight difference (which there isn't) it makes no difference. Do you plan on keeping the car stock?

If not then you'll probably at some point want to upgrade your suspension components, therefore yielding a great handling car when done right.

If the ls doesn't have a sunroof, technically it should handle slightly (but not noticeably) different on account of a lower COG, but for your purposes they are equivalent.

I think either one with a good set of tires is going to handle nicely. Once i got my new tires, my GSR rode like it was on rails.

I call BS it's not the other way around, take the cards. GS is the upper model right before the GSR.

sway bar is different, pretty much the whole suspension is upgraded, bigger rotors and brake calipers...and the JDM 98 spec ITR is even better

I own a 91' GS four door with no a/c, sunroof, or power locks and it came that way from the factory. My buddy also owns a 90' GS hatch back with no power locks or a/c stock.

We are referring to the 94-01 models when the GS came stock with all the options.

only way there might be a slight difference would be comparing an rs to a gsr, only because of the weight difference. four door should actually handle a little better if skunk 2 is correct when saying that the four door is more rigid. i never noticed any difference in handling between any tegs i've driven, besides ones with aftermarket or messed up suspension.
