When standard, spring rates are different between hatchback and cabby. The dimensions and fittings are the same though. Coilovers are rarely offered in hatchback and cabby variations, the aftermarket suppliers use the "one size fits all" philosophy although there might be a slight mismatch compared to stock rates.
