Default H&R Coilovers the same for sedan vs avant?

AWE has them listed under a different part # on their website. Is there really a difference in spring rates and damper rebound/compression, or is it just a different part # with no substantive differences?

Default Ditto. I'm running the Avant kit... 450F and 475R on the springs for the Avant kit

vs a 450/450 sedan combo... and they dont have that goofy helper spring action going on in the rear assy(single spring).

Default We have Avant specific H&R coilovers here for $1210.00

if you need a set. As Tory (Milpitas) said, the Avant kit has heavier spring rates for the rear which is preferred.
