Default Eibach springs 05-09 vs 10-14 the same?

Most manufactures' products (SR, Steeda, Ford Racing) fit 05-14 GT with the same part number, however Eibach and H&R are Gen specific. Does any know if the spring rates are different between the Eibach 05-09 and Eibach 10-14 or is it more likely something like a different design of bump stops?

The reason I ask:

I acquired a set of Eibach pro-kit drop springs from a former roommate. He bought them for his stang (2013 v6) but decided to leave them with me when he moved out. I have a 2008 GT. I was going to sell them or trade them for something else on the forum, but when I did a little research I noticed Ford Racing sold a kit that was 05-14 which makes me think the springs are the same but the replacement bumpstops or instructions are the difference. Eibach doesn't list the spring rates on their site so I can't compare them.

I also called AM but since I didn't have the order number and wasn't the original purchaser they couldn't exchange them (I figured this but wanted to ask anyway)

Anyone have have any ideas or opinions in regards to this? I'd hate to find out after I sold/traded them (most likely at a loss) that they would've fit my gen stang.

They will for sure fit your mustang. I have mixed and matched many parts from a 13 to an 05, just today i put my factory struts and mounts off my 13 GT on my father 05 GT. Only difference is that the strut mounts on the 2011+ mustangs are about 1/4" longer so if you put them in a 05 car it will sit 1/4 higher in the front. As for the springs, backs are the same but the fronts may compensate for the difference in the strut height. Those springs will for sure fit your car though.

I literally just came here to ask the same question. I noticed the 11-14 H&R super sport springs have a 2.4" drop on the rear, while the 05-09 has a 1.9" drop.

Are the springs shorter or do the asses of the 11-14 cars sit up higher? lol
