No changes in the size measures 2003 - 2006!

Of course the sport setup makes the car go lower and the heigh is reduced with some centimeters.

Are you sure about that? Check the size of the 2004-05 vs 06.

There is a different in size..not much..but the 06 is height is lower and the length is a big bigger.
