Default Well...
the most obvious giveaways are the ride height. Sport sits dramatically lower the stock non-sport. There are also something with the shocks that distinguish it from non-sport, but I'm not quite sure what it is. I'm new. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

"Sport" package shocks are maroon in color. Standard are black.

It's a whole lot stiffer and with much less body roll. Also sits lower.
