Default JDM vs USDM Suspension

Im quite curious on this and have yet to find a straight and clear answer on other JDM VS USDM post.
I just want to know the differences if any that are out there for this vehicle.

I know there is a Geometry difference between AP1 and AP2 but are there any Location differences when it comes to suspension?

Let me know what you know. I am still fairly new to this car and really want to know more.

thanks guys.

Not sure if this covers JDM vs. USDM, but here's one of the most thorough studies on the suspension geometry -- one of the best posts of old school s2ki:

Here's the color codes on the OEM springs for all model years:

Keep us posted on any findings!

Short answer: No difference among non-JDM cars (i.e. North American vs. Europe/worldwide). Unfortunately, no reliable/definitve info on JDM cars. I've started a discussion in my "characterization" thread - hoping someone out there can provide some solid info.
