Difference between coupe sport and non sport suspension?

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the difference is between sport and non sport suspension on a coupe. I know the sport has the stiffer rear springs but is the sport suspension lower then non sport?

Thanks. I appreciate your input. Just always thought the coupes with oem 19" have a smaller wheel gap than the coupes with 17".

Well according to stock tire size of 17" and 19" wheels, the front 19s are .2 inches taller and the rears are a little less than .5 inches taller. So if you split those numbers and add half of that measurement to the top of the tire and half to the bottom of the tire, there isn't a very noticeable difference. About 1/8 inch gap difference front and a little less than .25 inch rear.

The sport suspension comes with thicker sway bars too.

All it says is that the sport suspension is stiffer which I already knew. It doesn't say anything about height difference.

I didn't mean to sound ignorant but my main question was if the suspension has a height difference between sport and non sport and that link you posted didn't have any info on that. Just don't tell me to search next time because your search didn't show me what I'm looking for.

I don't think there is a difference. It is essentially the same suspension only stiffer and bigger sway bars. The wheels/tires might affect ride height.
