I think that's a false statement. The LS/LS+ series is meant for a luxury comfort ride with some better handling characteristics. The RS is marketed as a compromise between a street/track system. The LS+ uses aluminum upper mounts with rubber bushings for comfort, less noise. The RS uses upper pillowball mounts that are stiffer to maintain suspension geometry. And the biggest differene between the two has got to be the shock valving. I would bet the LS+ and RS coilovers are valved quite differently.

Sometime companies change names on the same products in order to sell everthing.
But anyway you could be right

I'm interested in why you think they are essentially the same product? What else besdies the similar spring rates makes you think that?
