Default The difference between 03 and 04?

Hi guys, what's the difference between the 03 and 04 s2k regarding the chassis and suspension geometry? I've heard that an 03 is more likely to oversteer then the 04. Does anyone know what has changed in the 04? Can the 03 be modified just like the 04? Thanks in advance.

Here are the changes:

Looks like Honda's formatting on their page is off a bit, so copy and paste into Word or something similar.

as far as the oversteer thing goes i believe its true because they softened up the rear on the ap2 to reduce oversteer. thats why some people put ap2 rear stock shocks n springs on an ap1. i plan on doing it myself, but doubtfully anytime soon. as for modifying i wouldn't do it the same because the differences on the ap1 compared to the ap2 could make a big difference in performance.
