You are flat out wrong.

This statement is false..... This is what you are wrong about... Read the article above and it clearly states that the GSR SE gets the same suspension components as the MR.

NO.

We get the same aluminum roof as the MR, as well as diamond black BBSs. But we do NOT get Bilsteins. We have the same suspension as the rest of the lineup.

I just found where I read that you get the bilsteins in the GSR and it turns out he was wrong. I am sorry, I stand corrected on the bilsteins and will carry on smartly...

I personally have always liked the stiffer springs... GSR SE is still the best bang for the buc.

the bilsteins provide for a more comfortable ride and better handling regardless of the “more body role.” I can’t imagine anyone with the money opting for the GRS unless you wanted a sunroof and leather really badly. I guess if you were planning on doing a lot of drag racing, and thus wanted the 5 speed, you would go for the GSR, but then again if you are buying an evo for amateur drag racing only you are making a poor decision.

I dissagree for one simple reason, to each there own. Everyone has different tastes in things and if they like to drag race and choose an EVO as the platform I am still happy, that just means that our platform is a staple in all areas of automotive performance.

haha, if I had bought a color that the SE's were offered in and not had gotten a good deal on the one I bought, I would have been a little upset about not getting a SE

On a side note...I would have got the black MR as a second choice. The only thing that would interest me in the SE would be my ability to say

"Yeah....special edition….thanks"

In my opinion I would rather have a 5 speed if your going to drag race the car.
