All models have the same springs, 2000-2005. R/T's have different sways, while the ACR's have adjustable struts in addition to larger sways.

01-02 rt's supposedly had a kyb perf strut, thats about it. Acr suspension is much better.

I think it's mentioned. Probably in the FAQ section. Then again, if OB didn't know, then maybe it isn't in the FAQ section.

I've never heard of the rates being different. Since that kind of info isn't in the FSM, might I ask how you know that Ryan?
