yeah - the ex is going to be a ligher vehicle compared to the SI. The si outweighs the EX due to the k20 engine as well as the limited slip differential, larger sways, (and I can't find the thread but somewhere someone weighed the EX seats compared to the SI seats and the si seats were heavier - if I remember right), etc.

ex 2701 manual weight
si 2877 manual weight

I don't know about ride height change going from ex to si springs only. I know a few members have bought the SI springs - they might be of help.
