Question GE8 suspension

does anyone know if the 09's have different suspension from the 08. because i got some recommendations on what lowering springs i should get but they were from people who have 08 fits. does it matter?

Yes, both front and rear were redesigned. Don't try and retrofit on 08 suspension.

Completly different... the Shocks on the 09`s are longer front and rear... along with the springs...

I thought I had read that the '09 sport would have a rear sway bar but I don't see it on mine ?? Can't always believe what you read . . .
