the suspension is different and there are K&N's installed as well as smooth tubes. The radio and AC are deleted and there is special badging. 5 point seat belts are also included.
Are the adjustable shocks on ACR the only difference from a GTS ?

Oh! The fog lamps are deleted and the rims are BBS style.

As far as the shocks and springs go, the springs are GTS-R style 2.25" I.D. racing spring rates type. The shocks are aluminum bodied Konis which are externally adjustable for bump and rebound.

ACR Shocks are not Koni's, even first iteration ACR where a different brand. They are now using a third manufacturer's shocks that are easier to adjust. Darn if I can remember the mfg. name though off the top of my head.

Jay: My '99 (earlier) ACR came with a Koni manual with adjustment info, and I'm sure that's what is on the car. I heard they changed shocks in 2000 though.

The '99 ACRs indeed have the Koni shocks. Also, the '00 ACRs have Koni, until mid year, when they changed to Dynamic Suspensions brand.
One item I do want to make sure is clear on the ACR, is that they do have a radio/AC delete, which most people believe is the way they always come. This is far from the actual truth. If I remember correctly there were only 9 ACR's in 1999 that did not have A/C and CD player and there were only 7 in this configuration in 2000. Virtually every dealer in the country orders the ACR with the comfort group addition, so it is almost impossible to find one without A/C and the CD player - and you do want these items.
