I believe the R/T spring rate is 10 lbs higher than the SE/SXT. Someone posted the spring rate info of the oem trim levels, but damn if I can find it in a quick search. If it is in the FAQ thread, I overlooked it.

The struts are prolly valved a little differently, and the sway bars are different.

Plus rt rear struts would definitely have the sway bar tabs while regular model struts most likely don't unless it's an early 2gn
