AE92 GTS vs. all other?

In regards to the suspension parts, what is the MAIN difference between the GTS's and the SR5/sedan?

all the parts seem to be catered to the GTS, but im thinking that they are dimensionally the same....right?

rear struts are a bit taller, but that's only because they use a serviceable strut, whereas the sr5 and the sedans use non serviceable struts...... GTS came with a front and rear swaybar. SR5 came with a rear swaybar, no front... the front swaybar will swap right over with the GTS bar, endlinks, control arms, brackets, and bushings.... sedans got no swaybars. GTS also came with a front upper strut brace that ties to the firewall. SR5 nor sedan got this.

so in theory, all the parts could swap over correct?

yes... they all can.... my car has KYB struts meant for all ae92's.... my springs were listed as GTS back in the day, but they fit fine... i have a JDM GTZ swaybar set up front (1mm larger than US gts), and a GTS (supposedly a JDM Levin) front strut brace as well.... i also have upper strut mounts (Tein) that were supposedly for GTS only, but the bolt pattern, of course, is the same..... and yes, mine is an SR5

well, i really should say "SR5" because the only thing left on it that is different is the spoiler, rear dash, rear brakes, ecu (but my 4afe one is modified), and seats (and i like my seats better). I have everything else thats different

The rear struts on the SR5 and GTS are identical. And from what I know the Sedan and SR5 are the same as well. But the front shocks on the GTS are taller than the Struts on the SR5 or Sedan. And for the GTS they are shocks with inserts rather that 1 pc struts like in the SR5 and Sedan.
