ok ... i know the difference from a GS/LS vs GSR is pretty much the head (if i'm wrong corrcect me) but i want to know exacts on GSR vs TYPE R all engine and suspension components that are different would be GREATLY RESPECTED AND OBLIDGED! I am plannin on gettin 98+ GSR or Type R wondering at my question.

Thanks,

c5 has full type r valvetrain componants-race ready

stiffer valvetrain components
ported head/ intake manifold
larger bore throttle body
stronger rods/pistons/crank
higher CR
larger cam lobes
stiffer suspension
shorter gear ratios (including final drive)
exhaust
Numerous "small" differences (a/c compressor hanger/less sound deadening, valve cover/ etc)

For the same amount of money you'll pay to go from a GSR to a Type R, you could turbo a GS-R and spank Type Rs up and down the block.
