pretty sure its identical. i\'ve read somewhere though that the spring rates for the sport were a little stiffer. I\'ll try to find the article. But i could be wrong. Thinking of getting springs MK.

Yeah, considering the SportHatch curbweight avg. 2826lbs, GT Sedan 2762lbs, GX/GS Sedan 2696lbs; the spring rates should be slightly different. Would the GTSport and GT sedan being negligible in 64lbs make a difference in spring rates, compared to 130lbs of the GX/GS?.
I would like to think the engineers would take into consideration the OEM rims fitted and the handling characteristics those lbs and tire/rim combos would produce along with the two engine options offered over the front wheels would make a difference.
You\'ll notice certain aftermarket spring companies will make two differnt lowering springs while others will take the avg. weight and make one to use for both variations of the 3 model.
Somebody check my lbs and math according to their brochure. I gave a quick look at my consolidated Cdn CAA Buyers Guide for quick referencing.
