With apologies for a very late reply John, my 2004 brochure describes the sports suspension optionally fitted to your Contemporary SE as being "lowered, including uprated springs, dampers and anti-roll bars".

The rear anti-roll bar was originally a standard feature across the range. In 2002 only 1.8T and 2.5 V6 models had it. It disappeared completely from my 2003 brochure but was included again in 2004 but only for tourers and V6 saloons.

So in fact the presence of an anti-roll bar was linked to engine size in some years but never trim level whereas the "sports suspension" was!
