Whether or not they were L-Tuned, they were different. Part of the SD "package" included:

Euro-tuned Sport suspension

Note the Lexus model library info has been removed for this year I think. I believe I archived it off into a PDF before they pulled it.
Did they really come with IN-DASH 6-disc changers????????????

I mean, by 2001, they still had the changer in the glove compartment.

For me, that changer in the dash alone would have been a serious upgrade, and I have a 2001.

wow, I had no idea they had different suspension.I even test drove one. I wonder why they didn't do the springs too, sounds like they were so close to putting out a stock GS that handled half decent.

here's the one I looked at.

In dash - meaning built into the dash - accessed via the glove box.

Ohhhhhhhhhh... Forgot, glovebox is part of the dash. LMAO

Still pissed everytime I get in my friend's 2002 Focus with a 6-disc "really-in-the-dash" changer.

yup-no ML for me( that's the only option I don't have that I wish I did, I don't really care about NAV). I have the steering wheel radio controls.
