Difference between Coupe and Sedan Suspension?

Sorry I just need a real quick answer... I tried searching with no luck... Can anyone tell the difference in the Si coupe and the sedan suspension?... my main concern is the rears...

Are the rear shocks the same length?...

Are the springs the same length or is the preload in the springs different the only difference?...

Please and thank you for your help...

Shocks are the same design, different valving will fit. Springs are same size different rate and also will fit..

Hope this answers your question.

I can't remember whether the sedan springs were more or less stiff than the coupes. But I think the rear shocks on the Sedan are more aggressively valved than the Coupe

My response would have been the same. There are differences in the spring load rating but everything else is the same.
