Hi guys, first post and let me preface it to say i did a search and nothing really came up.
ive been looking for an 05-06 coupe and it seems as though ones that come with the sports package are both less common and more expensive. ive yet to come across one within my budget. other than the 19s which are way sexier imo, is the sports package really worth it? is the suspension that much stiffer that it would be easier and cheaper just to wait and find one in my price range than to mod the normal suspension?
thanks in advance for any input

 

I love my car, and its the only one I've driven. I have an 05 OB 6mt sports, premium pkg with navi. Got in in Feb. with 27k on the clock.

So i'm not really sure what the non sport suspension feels like, but let me be the first to say, don't settle get what you want.

 

good advice, thanks.
though id like to hear from anyone who has driven the two and could shed some light on how they compare

 

You'd also be missing out on the limit slip diff as well without the sports pkg.

 

IMO Drive both to compare. I have the sports package and i love the stiff suspension.

 

Yes, it is well worth it. Rims and springs can be easily changed/added, but a LSD is not.

 

I thought all 6mt came sport package

 

if you plan to upgrade the stuff in the future i wouldnt spend the extra $$

 

hmm, didnt realize the LSD only came with sports

i'm getting automatic. as much fun as stick is, i live in la and it can be a pain in the *** in daily traffic

 

correct..

 

since all 6mt's came sports you'd really be comparing at to mt and those are totally different animals

Personel preferance I never even considered at and would never have bought one at any price

 

there are at sports as well...

 

Do the automatic G coupes with the sport package come with LSD? sometimes I swear both tires are not spinning when I try and test it out..

 

^^^not sure-I would think so but cant really say.

OP-Have you decided on a 6MT of 5AT?

I dont think the difference is enough to make or break a deal. I couldnt really notice it. Then again.. i would change out the suspension to aftermarket regardless if it was the sport/non-sport.

 

autos do come with sport package.. 05+ have orange stitiching on steering wheel = sport package auto or manual
