it is different.

the spring rates are different because of the weight. It's not that it would sit lower but the control/stability would be lost. For example when driving 100 k down the 401 and hitting a dip in the road the spring rate factors in the cars weight for suspension travel and suspension compression, under hard load this will prevent the shock from bottoming out or car from hitting the bump stops. if the weight of the car is too much for the spring or the spring is not correct when hitting a dip in the road or corning hard you will have a soft feel or a bouncy feel that would/could cause a car control issue, the car would propably feel crappy. I would wait for the right springs to be made.
