Difference between awd 4g and fwd 4g on suspension?

Hi,
Recently, I noticed that even the steering wheel is thicker on awd 4g. I heard that awd has more firm and sporty suspension. What is the difference between them on suspension perspective? or thicker control arm etc?

Shocks and springs in the SH-AWD are firmer (ie. higher spring rate on the springs and shocks have stiffer damping) the sway bars are also bigger on the SH-AWD. Not sure on the control arms.

As mentioned, AWD has firmer rates and damping, but not sure about the arms. The 6MT version has different suspension calibration from the auto. The AWD also has 18 inch versus 17 inch wheels in a 40 aspect ratio.
