I believe that the ground clearance issue is related to the different shape of the front fascia. There is slightly less clearance on the GT but the rolling radius of the 17" vs the 16" vs the 15" wheels is very close to being the same.
Even though springs measure the same height and look the same does not mean that they have the same characteristics. If they have the same part number, they are the same but at least Chrysler's advertising indicates that they did change the spring and shocks characteristics for the GT.
