Differences between the LS and standard Boss

I am sure that this has been covered many times. However, I have done several searches and can not find a post listing all of the differences. I am looking for the Ford part numbers if possible for the suspension pieces.

Also, I am new to the forum. My name is Will. I traded my 2012 GT500 for a 2012 Boss 302 a few weeks ago. While I liked the Shelby I never really felt connected to it. The suspension and steering always felt a bit numb.

The Boss is much more fun to drive and transmits more information. Though the Boss's shifter is a bit vague, it is much better than the Shelby's. It is impossible to shift quickly from 1 to 2 at high RPM in the GT500 without grinding gears. All to often a 3 to 4 shift ended up as a 3 to 2 shift (not fun).

There is a thread buried here somewhere with the differences stated. The main difference is the suspension which is optimized for the R comp tires. The engines are identical.
