Question how can you tell if your car has sport suspension?

without pulling the wheel off and measuring the brake rotors...need to know which size I have. I have a 6 speed if it matters

Look at rear sway bar.

If it has a yellow paint dot it's sport suspension.

If you can still feel your *** after a few hours or driving, you need to upgrade your suspension.

Some parts like Shocks have a white Paper type Number on it like FE17 or F189 or F190 etc, if you can get this off the shocks I can confirm what you have...provided they are still stuck to the shocks (sometimes come off)...from One shock will do..
