Actually the non-sport ISs suspension is quite stiff. Obviously not as stiff as the sport, but stiff nontheless.

Has anyone seen any side by side shots of the sport and non-sport suspensions, both on 18's?

I too would be interested in side by side shots with the 18" wheels. Anyone?

it drops the car by .5", you can guesstimate from non sport trim pics theres plenty of those here, some people have wheels larger than 18" but the overall diameter therefore wheel gap is the same, you can guesstimate from the pics how much wheel gap was eliminated:

When I picked mine up, the dealer had a sport and a non-sport side-by-side in the showroom. The difference was noticeable, especially the wheel gap (both had 18's).

You ever find the urge to turn your car from side to side like 5 times just to see those babies do their little dance

And yes, I chose the sport package, I mean my wife chose it , because the wood trim seemed less appealing; as a bonus, we got a slightly more agressive suspension, the HIDs, etc, etc.
