I know they didn't come with a rear sway bar unless you got the Pony Package. Not sure if we also have different dampers, springs, etc. I would assume that we do since there's more weight over the front wheels, but I'm not completely sure.

Rear springs are same on GT and V6; front springs are slightly softer on the V6.
Dampers per appropriate springs, too.
The only other difference as mentioned are the sway bars; most V6s dont come with a rear one, and the front is smaller than the one on the GT.
All the rest of the stuff is the same.

Let me add that the rear brakes are the same between the GT & V6, but the front brakes on the GT are bigger.

The calipers are the same, the mounting bracket is bigger to accomodate the bigger rotor on the front.
And depending upon when your Pony package was done, the front and rear sway bars can be the same size between the Pony package and GT. Someone measured and found that the 2006 Pony package used the same sway bars as the GT that year.
