Suspension/chassis difference between models?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is a difference between the suspension or any of the chassis components of the base and competitor models?

I'm not quite sure if there are any differences so I'd be very grateful if someone could let me know.

Thanks in advance.

No idea for sure but I surmise that there will be no hardware differences...only slightly different tuning to compensate for weight gain/AWD.

This... I doubt it if there are any major differences in hardware. I believe I read somewhere that the manual tranny in the core model couldn't handle the higher torque numbers in the Comp model, thus, we have two different power output choices. Besides that, most of the standard cosmetic options etc. are at least optional on the core model.
