simple answer:
if Bilstein shocks, a 6spd tranny, and better wheels are worth the extra jack to you then yes.. if you plan on swapping suspension and getting new wheels anyway, go with a GSR.

EDIT: Any hookups on a Kenwood screen?

I had the same choice too..

i decided on the SSL, because this is my daily driver and i've always had a sunroof.

you get same motor and the six speed is indeed nice, but it's only about 200rpm difference highway cruising speeds, not really worth the xtra money imho.

i don't really like the leather seats, but getting used to them, the stereo is fine, i'm gonna leave that and spend all money on engine/suspension mods.

basically it all depends on what you are gonna use it for.

good luck.

The GSX SE has the aluminum roof, lighter wheels, HIDs, and stronger 5 speed tranny. If you are a hard core racer you will want the SE with the 5 speed. If you are a poser get the MR.

I would say get the 9 SE. And added the zero lift kit, wicker bill, and defuser that the MR has. I'll tell you the 6 sp is really nice. I choose the MR caused i liked the 6sp and HIDs. If the SE was avalible I probably would have got that.

Good Luck

Yea i'm a poser because I chose to have better suspension, better Wheels, 6 speed and stock HIds.

I should be a hardcore racer like everyopne else and get the regualr 9.
