I dont think that there is much difference in the base suspension.

The 350 does have over 100 lbs more in the front due to the difference in engines, which translates to different behavior. I have not driven a 350 myself to compare, but I have heard the 250 is more balanced.

^^^^Actually the curb weight difference is 92lbs for the 250AT to the 350AT. 3,435 vs 3,527. The 250MT weighs 20lbs more than the 250AT. The 250AWD weighs in at a hefty 3,651lbs.

Now we know that there are other components that weigh more than the 250 in the 350, to handle the extra power. The brakes are a good example. So the added weight for the engine is considerably less than 100lbs.
