I've heard conflicting reports on this, so I'll just ask here. What is the difference between the struts/springs found on a 2nd gen Brighton and those on a GT? Are the GT's stiffer? Lower?

L/Brighton/LSi/GT/L SE/Brighton SE all use the same shocks
Outback/SUS use the same shocks.
GT & LSi share the same springs
L/Brighton use the same springs
Outback/SUS use the same springs

According to Subaru, the GT springs and shocks (the whole package) are 15% stiffer than the L, Brighton models. They ride about the same height but look a bit lower due to the side skirts and the smaller profile tire (due to the 16" wheels instead of the 15" on the other vehicles).
