Hi guys.
Long time lurker and SX4 owner. I intend to graduate to a Kiazshi one of these days, but I would absolutely have to have the AWD, paddel shifters, and sport suspension.

So does anyone know exactly what components give the "sport" suspension it's lower ride height? I heard that the springs and struts are the same, and that the difference is in the bushings. Can anyone confirm that? And do you know the actual PNs that could be purchased and replaced?

Thanks in advance!

well I did some digging and answered my own question. I checked out oemsuzukiparts.com and found that both the struts and springs are different. It would be very expensive to do yourself. If you want it you need to buy a '11 + gts or sls.

In the research I've done before I bought my '11 GTS, I read that the sport suspension lowered the suspension by 10mm. I doesn't sound like much, but it makes a difference. I think lowering it further would compromise ride comfort.
