Default Difference between RS and GS-R

Hi, I have a 98 integra RS with a GS-R motor.
I was wondering if there is any difference between an RS and a GS-R
besides the engine, ABS, exterior trim, and rims.
I'm assuming the GS-R has stiffer suspensions or is it more than that?
Let me know. thanks in advance.

GSR has a slightly larger rear sway bar...that is the only suspension difference.

I could have sworn the springs and dampers were slightly firmer as well. :thinking:
The brakes are fractionally larger too, IIRC.

the rs is lighter, structurally sturdier due to no sun roof. RS with a GS-R motor is basically a step below the typeR.

Don't forget the stock front upper strut bar!

Thanks a lot for the info guys.
I feel relieved that there are not many significant differences between RS and GS-R.
Now i gotta start saving money for mods! hehe
