You're going by the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight) which is the car at FULL occupancy.

Of course the EH2 will hold more ****, so it's GVWR will be higher than the GVWR of a Del Sol.

CURB weight is what you're looking for, not GVWR.

LOL,
nah maybe for my girlfriend

i was asking because my friend
drives a hatch like mine and i hooked
him up with neuspeed race springs that
were off a delsol and i knew they would
fit, but his car doesn't sit as low as mine
and i thought it may be because the spring
rate in is made to handle more weight since
the sol is heavier, then i thought that is maybe
why its not squatting as low?

i don't know really just a guess...
