base vs. SE

s13-
I know the SE has a stiffer suspention, but is it anything that I can't reproduce with a good set of shocks and springs? Also, is there any other differences between the two?

There is no performance difference between the two, besides maybe the suspension you mentioned (even then I'm not sure its that different). The difference is basically in the trim: power options, premium stereo, cruise, stock alloy wheels, etc. And it says SE on the back.

I have a SE 93 and Malix has a base. He told me his car didn't come with swaybars as well. His windows are not power.

There might be some other options. He will probably answer this better.

Well Malice, you are totally wrong about the sway bars. My car is the baseiest of the base models. wind up windows, no switch for power mirror (until now courtesy of StanBo) and no rear wiper on the fastback. THat's about it. But My car has sway bars on it already, factory style. THe SE models probably has thicker ones, but we do have sway bars.

take a look at what they look like on one of the sites and see it thats what u have in your car. The front ones are rather not wide, but the back you can definitely see once you get under there.
