Im not sure about the whole chassis, but i know the rear subframe is slightly different to utilize a rear swaybar. The front lower control arms and shock forks are also different for the same reason.

Im going to go out on a limb here and say maybe because the person that said it has LSD owns the car...........thats just my guess though I could totally be wrong

You would be correct lol. Thanks for the comments guys. It's not my goal to have it look like an Si but it has sure gotten close over the last couple years haha. Azenis worked a lot better than my SPT's in the autox school yesterday too

Oh, I was asking because the previous owner of my car's father installed "something" in the engine to make it faster. I found nothing, still find nothing, but thought hmmmm, maybe he installed LSD. Ive not taken the tranny apart to see if that was it and I dont know any ways to VISUAL see you have LSD from a full engine pic.
