True, I forget that it's my X with the taller spring. There's been talk about swapping springs to get the slightly lower stance of the S.
The S sits a little lower than the X. It's not shocks doing that.... It's the slightly shorter spring.
I thought the shocks were the same across all G's

Most importantly you get a cool red S on your trunk so everyone knows you have a Sport.

+1. you'll be a bit stiffer in cornering with the Sport. I have an S, wouldn't have it any other way.

I agree completely. It looks better, it handles better, and like everyone else said....you get the cool red S on the back, haha

Having driven both: Journey:comfy, soft, light feel, its so fun and easy to toss around corners vs. Sport: heavy, solid, stiff, tight, harsher over speed bumps But I love my S. Maybe when I'm older I'll like the Journey suspension but for now, I'm totally diggin the S!!!!
