    Comparing 08 Suspension to Earlier Years

    Thanks again for the great posts... Did anyone else notice on the model center portion of this site under specifications it mentions 'stabilizer bars' as if it is referring to both the XLR and XLR-V for 2008? Is this a mistake or did they add them to the base 2008 XLR in addition to revising...
