Is there a ride height difference between the 2000+ SE'* and the SLE/SSEI'*? I already know of the handling being a major advantage, but what about the ride. Any difference in the height, or am I still stuck where I'm at, not knowing wheter the STS Edelbrock springs will work. I'm half tempted to buy just to test.

The 92-99 generation have a 1/2" ride height between them.

but will, we aren't talking about 92-99s

Correct. In other words, I don't know for sure on the 2k. However, the 92-99 info may be meaningful.

Looking at the 2003 year model, both MSN and Edmunds show a 5.4" ground clearance for all three models.

Well darn!
