Oh off the top of my head no FRA adjustment and 10.5" of travle VS. the
'97's FRA adjustment and 11.5" travle,alum wheels vs plastic, slightly differnt bolt pattern to the tunnle,,, im sure i'm forgetting one other...but thats the biggest things.

yep you have it.
Just to add to what daman said, The FRA changes the effective travel rate of the rear coil over shock and spring assembly.

Lower position stiffens spring and speeds up shock and allows a wee bit more travel. Higher position lower spring rate and slows shock. I prefer stiffer with faster shock myself.
