LSE vs. Ultimate/Sport suspension?

[mineralgsvt]

Are there any differences in the LSE suspension? Or is it merely an appearance package? I've got a dealer telling me the suspension is different..

I have begun my search and have driven a few Ultimates and sports('03-'04) and they seem to be the same, just not sure on the LSE.

Thanks!

The LSE has the sport suspension as well as the appearance package. The LSE was not re-introduced until 2004. It was only available in 2002 with a difference body kit. You dealer is right is has a different suspension but it's only the sport version.

The difference in the sport and non-sport is the sway bars and shocks. Everything else is the same suspension wise. The shocks use color codes to differentiate between base and sport. Below is a chart showing the different shocks:

Hey, thanks. He was trying to tell me that it was different than the sport. I didn't think so.

I've got a good question. My rear tires look as like they have soom positive camber, I have a LS, and I am wondering if all the LS's have this or did someone modify the camber???
