DX, LX vs. ES Suspension

Anyone have facts to prove ES suspension is different than DX/ ES. Have heard many rumors that the ES has diff suspension but can't find any Mazda literature that says it is.

There are different part numbers for the springs, struts, and swaybars for sedans with and without rear disk brakes. If you have rear disks, you have the "sport suspension," which has stiffer springs and struts and larger diameter sway bars. The P5 got the sport suspension.
