Sport Suspension?
Sunday, March 06, 2005 7:53 PM
Trying not to sound too noobish-

I've seen on a bunch of websites that, sunbirds, at least, came with either standard or "sport" suspention. I'm guessing the sport came on the GT's, but is there any way to knwo if i've got it or not.....?
TIA from someone who knows almost nothing about suspention

I'm really not sure what the differences were on the 2nd gens. As mentioned, the "sport" suspension on the 3rd gens involved nothing more than a small rear stabilizer bar and a front sway bar. I believe those front bars came in different sizes depending on the year of the car.

my sport model cavi had a rear sway bar. would would ask this over in the second gen section. the folks there will know more specific things that you might want to know.

i know the old skyhawks came with a "rally" suspension, which included shocks and springs as well as sway bars. then again, i stop and think about GM's "rally wheels" or the cavalier "rally sport" and i realize it's probably a play on words, stupid paradox.

Isn't the sport suspension on 3rd gen's a little bit lower? My car looks a little lower than my gf's base 02.. But maybe it's cause I have 16" rims and she only has 14" rims..

i think the z's look lower than the base models. probably like 1/2" or something like that. or maybe it's the ground effects, that little lip on the front bumper and going down the side. not sure what it is.
