Tires, stabilizer bars, spring rate, shock/strut damping rates.

Tires and springs make the most difference. The Impala rides on a shorter wheelbase as well, making the ride choppier.

Other than being a Buick the major difference in suspension is both the LeSabre Custom and Limited models have the electronic rear self-leveling air shocks.
