Default Why are 250 and 350 drops different?

Question as to why the same spring model installed on a 250 and a 350 produces different drops. the 250 always drops less than the 350. For example, RSR and Tein and Tanabe use the same part number for their respective springs but the drop numbers are different.

Is it because the 350 motor is heavier therefore the drop will be lower?

Jesus Christ please stop with these threads. Either you are going to install springs or you are just trolling looking for attention. This isn't even a constructive question. It only matters what the drop is for your specific car who cares about the why? There is more than enough information already here for you to make up your mind, you are worse than my girlfriend !

BOB, thanks for the harsh comments. But I already ordered springs. They are currently in transit to my house for install next week. This was a technical question so that I can further educate myself about these cars. It wasn't intended to help me make any decision. Make sure you don't assume things. I don't troll, never have and never will.

Never noticed the 250 having a different drop.... I doubt it does. Aren't all springs the same for the 250 and 350? I doubt weight has a factor in this as well. I think its just a coincidence thing. I'll be getting my drop this Saturday! Rsr downs
