If you're talking about gen5, SE uses stiffer springs and sportier shocks. With stabilizer bars and strut tower bar. They are not made by TRD, I think.

The SE makes the car feel not like a boat. It corners decently. I rode in the LE and it is a boat.

its a little stiffer, but a lot more stable, and it does't bounce around after a bump.

i just got a 98' le so i'm kinda bummed......so......
how much are those springs? how much would labor be, or are they simple enough to do myself? any other suggestions about making suspension tighter? i'd be willing to give up my comfort to be able to take turns faster without flipping and dying and stuff. thanks
