AP1 and AP2 ride height the same?

Are the suspensions exactly the same for all years with OEM compents? I feel like stock AP1 cars sit higher than the AP2 cars do.?

AP1s have those tiny 16" wheels, so they look like they sit higher.

Springs are the same height for all years afaik, but stiffness effects sag over time, and the stiffer AP1s will sit higher longer.

The SCC suspension article called into question those rates:

I don't know where that thread is stickied, but it should be updated with this info.
