Differences are:
Shock towers
Drivetrain
Top deck
Shocks
Diffs
Driveshafts
Wheels n tyres
Bodyshell & wing

Shock towers:
Shorter front tower on the ZX
Narrower rear tower on the ZX

Drivetrain
The ZX uses a diff integrated into the spur gear with a trust bearing in seperating the drive pulleys

Top deck:
ZX uses a two piece top deck seperated by a belt cowling.

Shocks:
Short front on the ZX

Diffs:
Gear diffs on the ZX (used on the ZX-Sport also)

Driveshafts:
Universal swingshafts all round on the ZX-R. Dogbone on the ZX rear.

Wheels n tyres:
Standard dish 2.2 on the ZX-R. Optima/Maxxum 2.0's on the ZX
Mini-pin equivilent tyres on the ZX-R. Full spikes on the ZX

Main performance difference though is the main drive shaft assembly

Regards
Nick
