Default difference between GT and LX

can anyone tell me if there are any differences between the GT and LX 5.0 besides the ground effects. a friend of mine told me there are some differences in the suspension. is this true?

There is no difference between the gt and the lx except for the body kit. The gt weighs more and some say therefore is not as fast, but the motor, trans, and suspension are all the same.

I heard it was 78lbs heavier. Also then u have cheese graters...ewwwww Other than that theyr the same. Technicly the LX 5.0 should be slightly faster cuz of less weight, but ur not gonna b able to tell the difference.
