Default Are there any differences between the GS & RS & LS in body?

I feel like I've seen way more meaner LS builds than GS.
is the GS body just that much duller or am I just imagining things?

The GS-LS are almost identical in their own ways.

The RS is just the one that doesn't have the rear brake setup, power option were optional for it, No ABS

Weight.
RS: 2529 lbs (1147 kg)
LS: 2643 lbs (1199 kg)

Searching will give you more results. I just pulled these off google and knowledge.

only the itr had a different body. same frame just reinforced in various places. rs/ls/gsr are all the same just with a different options. the rs has the same advantage the civic cx has with eg's, it's the light strip down model. since the nature of these cars is torqueless you can actually feel every 100lbs of weight

are we talking about the 2g or 3g?

because i read around about people claiming that the rs is the same body as the type r with different safety/performance.

then next in line would be ls than gs than gs-r.

the rs just has no moonroof which is why it's the choice for making an R clone. it is however missing the frame enhancements that the type r was given. every model is the same basic shell, it's just the R that received the extras

RS = no moonroof and optional power features..
LS = standard trim level with everything except leather interior
GS = LS + leather interior

The RS weighs less because it doesn't have ABS or moonroof.
After 97 in Canada (possibally elsewhere) the RS coupe became the SE coupe.
And all the sedan models of integras were replaced with a 1.7 EL

the LS also had an SE model that had leather before the GS came out, I can post pics of my 95 LS SE 4dr with leather if you don't believe me lol Also has that "wood" interior around the shifter

Meant to say something like.... "The RS model was the only version of the integras to not have the rear brake disk and has drums instead.

But that isn't true either, unless the 2nd gens came like that. All 3rd gens have disks at both ends.
