S14 base, SE and LE differences

[klohiq]

I know this has been covered, but there was some argument as to whether the SE had better suspension than the base.

Mechanical
- Sports suspension and rear stabilizer bar.
- '95: larger front strut piston (22mm vs 20mm)
- '96: larger front strut and rear shock piston
- optional VLSD and ABS package (VLSD order option for base) (VLSD and ABS in a single option, if an SE has VLSD, it will have an ABS as well - vice versa)
- '96: leather interior and ABS/VLSD options were combined (definite way to tell if you have an LSD)

Exterior
- 5 lug 16" wheels (base has 4 lug; optional alloy 15" wheels)
- Body colored outside mirrors
- Fog Lamps
- Rear Spoiler (side rocker panels on 97/98)
- Dual Chrome Exhaust Finish
- '95: Power antenna standard
- Sunroof optional (same in base, standard in LE)
- Front lip spoiler (aka chin spoiler) (97/98 didn't get this on base/SE/LE??)

Interior
- Air, Cruise, and tilt
- White-faced sports gauges
- Power everything (base has optional Power package - incl. A/C, locks, Cruise)
- Variable intermittent wipers (fixed in base)
- 6 speaker sound system (std in LE, '96+ base has radio & speakers optional)
- Maplight (without sunroof)
- Upgraded cloth seats
- Driver's side lumbar support (95/96)
- Optional Leather and Security package
- Keyless entry standard in '95 SE (optional in '96)
- Leather wrapped steering and shift nob(manual transmission)
- Passenger side vanity mirror
- Leather and Security optional (not available on base, standard in LE) - '95-'96: door trims on the leather package in black seude
- '97-'98:door trims on the leather package in titanium
- '97-'98: side sill extensions

not that it really matters, but for s13, the HICAS models had stiffer springs&shocks, fatter sway bar, and a quicker steering rack.
