Default Coupe vs cab suspension springs

What is the difference in coupe vs cab lowering springs?

I see H&R has different part numbers for coupe vs cab.

Cab is a little heavier. With most of the added weight, hydraulic top mechanism, roll bars, in the rear.

So, if you just happened to pick up the cab springs for cheap and have a coupe, they would be based for a car about 200 pounds heavier, and might not drop the full 1.25 inches? Works out about 50 pounds a spring.

I just ordered the 2002 coupe ROW M030 kit for my 2002 Targa, now I'm wondering since the Targa is ~150 lbs heavier than the coupe, maybe I should have ordered the cabriolet version?

What I found interesting is that the C4 and the C4S springs (H&R) are the same part number. For cabs....(not the yellow ones)
