Russian Blue,
I know the rear sway is 22 mm on the non-sport, and 23.5 mm on the sport. Front sways are the same across the field as far as I know. My guess is that the spring rates and dampeners for the sport are more aggressive. This was true for both my sport and non-sport 3.0i. Sorry I can't give you anything definitive, but a sport set up in the Charlotte area would be great. Alot of guys go with Eibach or H&R springs all around with both Bilstiens or stock sport springs, to mildly lower the vehicle and improve handling. It would have been my choice had I not gone with a KW set-up (which I haven't installed yet). GL Buddy.
