Since the USDM does not have AYC I wondered if the US cars had the lower stiffer rears installed. I looked at the IX and the rear seems noticably lower?

I'm a track junkie. On my 05' GSR I replaced the springs with Tanabe GF210's and put a Hotchkiss rear bar on (lightest setting). I dialed in one degree of negative camber all around with zero toe all around. From a handling perspective, the car is a beast on the track with these cheap ($300) mods. Much, much, much better than stock. Very little roll, very little understeer and very controlable.
