The GSR was equipped with a 24mm front sway bar, the submodels had a 22mm (94-7); 98-01 GSR submodels then upgraded to 24mm as well. GSR had 14mm rear whereas the 94-7 LS/RS/GS/SE coupes had 13mm (sedans had 14mm), then 98-01 ALL models (minus the ITR) upgraded to 14mm rears as well. There is NO difference in spring rates or dampener stiffness between the non-ITR models. The GSR did get a front strut bar STANDARD unlike the RS/LS/GS/SE models.
The RS does NOT have a stiffer chassis than the ITR, as the ITR has reinforcement in the roof, b-pillars, and the rear wheelwells and arch extensions were made thicker - including subframe reinforcement.
Brakes: same diameter rotors (front and back) among the non-ITR models.
94-5 GSR motors had a simple oil cooler equipped from the factory, 96+ GSR's did not.

Also, isn't the exhaust system on certain model year GS-Rs slightly different?
On a side note: I think we were comparing the stiffness of the chassis of an RS w/B18c to a GS-R (and not to a Type-R) where the chassis of the RS would be stiffer since it doesn't have a moonroof.
been there done that

the definition of a couple is a 2-door car with relatively low roof and sleek overall body design + trunk as far as i know. I wasn't trying to be an asshole or anything.
