Inline engines are often heavier than similar displacement V engines. I wouldn't think there would be a lot of difference between the weight of the 2.6L and 3.0L, but the engine weight may be carried a little further foward in the 2.6L. However, the specs show the curb weight of the 2.6L to be lighter overall than the 3.0L.

The FSM agrees with Dave in that the bar diameter is more for the 2.6L, but it gives the spring specs in different measurements:

2.6L = Spring constant (wheel position when body set) - 123 lbs/in

3.0L = Torsion spring constant - 25.03 ft.lbs/degree
