Default difference between Mustang notchback and hatchback lowering springs

I was wanting to know if there is a difference in the springs. Specifically, aftermarket lowering springs. Are the notch, hatch, and vert springs interchangeable at all?

i've noticed that too

oddly enuff,ALL V8 cars(with the exception of the 1993 cobra),no matter what body style,came from the factory with the same exact springs

the aftermarket may take into acct that the convertible is heavier than the hardtop cars,and provide a slightly stiffer spring

Eibachs, H&R's, Steeda, BBK etc. Nothing specific. I can find all kinds of used ones for sale on Craigs etc. , but usually not specifically for a 'vert. I'm just gonna jump on some I guess.

The spring rates are the same for all the fox models on most springs.
