Default Tein Basic Coilover question xA=xB?

I bought a set of Tein basics new off of a guy local to me and turns out they say they are for the xA, however I have an xB. I know the suspensions are very similar but the rear spring rates differ. Here is the question:

I am curently running s-techs on the B, so if I just leave the rear springs in (s-techs in the xB) and put everything else in from the kit it will be fine correct? So I will basically be left over with new s-tech xA springs for the rear and used s-tech front springs that can go with either the xB or the xA correct?

Kinda confiusing I know...just don't want a saggy butt in the B...

The spings for the coilovers aren't the same as the standard S.Tech spring. There's not a ton of weight in the back of the xB anyway, so unless you have a huge sub back there, I don't think it's going to sag that badly.

Even if it does, the rears are so easy to swap out.

Post pics when you do it.
