09's also have different spindles, completely different sway bar design, race brake set up, controles are located on the console below the bars, to free up space on the bars.

the 09s' have different ecu (fuel mapping), more piston/cylinder clearance (no seizing), lighter by 17 lbs...probably worth it to get an 09 and avoid the potential problems of the 08

The entire belly pan assembly is also significantly narrower on the 09. Extremely noticeable when the two are side by side. The front mount on the upper A-arm is nearly exposed on the 09 as opposed to sitting about 3 1/2 inches in on the 08. The 09 also has a magnesium chaincase cover where the 08 is still running plastic.
