    The speed sensitive ones are different, they have a solenoid that restricts the flow of fluid as the speed of the vehicle increases to make the steering a bit heavier. I don't know about the line size, I think they are the same as there is no difference in power steering lines between standard and speed sensitive.

    Pretty sure the pump is different too - check the link I posted today.
