I don't think so.. the Z24 and LS Sport were said to have a "sport tuned suspension"

the sport tuned suspension was a front sway bar, and maybe maybe better bushings.

Yeah. Same springs on all 3rd gen j-bodies.

thx, yeah i was kinda thinking it probably was just the front sway bar

Front sway bar and rear stabilizer (mini-sway-bar) were the only differences.

LMAO!!!!!! i never even knew they called it a sports tuned suspention... wow... some sport tuned suspention eh? so i guess the z24 has a "race engineered arodynamic airflow body style" because of the different spoiler they add in the back

They did something cause my 2000 Z24 handled a hell of alot better then my 1999 Base Model.

i disagree my friends 2002 ls does not have a sway bar

I know the the Z's came with a front sway bar. as for the other models I don't know, but I do know that front bar makes a good bit of difference in the way the car behaves on the road. Add a rear bar and it tames that body roll even more. However like said before the springs are all the same.

I don't remember seeing a rear swaybar on my 02 Z24?! It handled ok.
