Are there different springs for the 3.3TT and the 2.5T? vs AWD

[NYBIOMED]

My understanding is the 2.5T is nearly 300lbs lighter than the V6 3.3TT, shouldn’t that mean different springs between the 2? Doesn’t that mean the front “drop” would vary if the same springs are used? Is anyone running the H&R springs and how would they compare against the Eibach and Ark Performance springs? AWD vs. RWD probably doesn’t amount to as much, but the cumulative difference between an AWD 3.3TT vs. A 2.5T RWD seems pretty significant.

TIA

I emailed ARK about this:

I am in the market for lowering springs for my ‘22 Kia Stinger GT-Line with the 2.5T engine. The ARK website lists the same part number (LS0804-0118) for the 3.3TT engine and outgoing 2.0T engine. The website does not list options for the new 2.5T base engine. However, the chassis on the new base model remains the same as the old base model and I’m led to believe the past base models suspension components will also work on the new base model.

I am looking for spring rate information as I’m wondering how the same springs are used for both models. The 3.3TT engine is a fair bit heavier than its 2.0T counterpart. I’m curious to know if the GT-S springs function well on both models due to the difference in weight between the two. My thought process leads me to believe there will be slight lowering height differences due to the difference in weight between the models. Furthermore, if the springs are more designed towards the 3.3TT engine weight, I would believe the valving on the 2.0T and subsequent 2.5T would be inadequate for the spring rates.

Will report back with their response.

I know the storm Springs are the same. My drop was a little bit less up front compared to the 3.3. I have the 2.slow.
In all a reality they should make 2 different sets but....
