No, they are significantly different, but shock absorbers do fit for the saloon. Check this shop http://www.awshop.co.uk/ and look for KYB RA5308.

KYB RA5308 are the heavy duty springs. HD springs were fitted to saloons that had factory fitted tow bars. If you haven't got a factory tow bar & the car is fitted with standard springs, then fitting HD springs will raise the rear ride height above what it originally was when new.
So if you prefer the look of a standard spring height, then I'd stick to the standard springs (KYB RA5307). If you want to 'pump it up', then go for the HD springs  ....which for some reason, are cheaper 
I fitted KYB RA5308 heavy duty springs (bought from awshop) to my 2.3 Scorp taxi (no tow bar) about 18 months ago. They give about the same ride height as a Scorp estate & I'm very pleased with them
This pic was taken just after I fitted them....
P.S....It did drop a little once the springs had settled
