Auto GLE Springs VS Auto SE Springs

When comparing stock springs, how much stiffer are the SE springs than the GLE springs? I'm looking for an opinion, not actual math, such as "about 30% stiffer". Anybody have any experience?

Also, is the ride height the same if both are from an Automatic?

i thought that the GLE had stiffer springs if you opted for the sport tuned suspentsion option, but i dont know for sure.

it really doesnt matter though, stock springs kinda suck no matter how you go

The main reason I'm considering the SE springs is because I won't have to change my struts, and they're pretty cheap

True, you won't have to. But you still should, if you possibly can. GLE and SE struts were different, too.

Only the rear springs are different between SE and other models.
The front springs differ from Autos to 5 speeds.
