Re: are springs and struts the same
Look up each car in a parts catalog, see if the part numbers for the springs are the same between the 2 cars.

I'd guess they are different due to the weight differences between the two cars. Hatch should be lighter.
Put the hatch units under the sedan, instant lowering kit!

I would have to check the spring rates to see but i would imagine the sedan has a higher spring rate(stiffer springs) due to how much more it weighs..so if you put the sedan ones on your little car they don't compress the springs as much...
