No photos, but really the major difference is in their rating. A station wagon spring is designed to support a heavier load than a coupe spring due to the increased cargo capacity.

I've always believed AC cars front coils were heavier gauged than non-ac cars.

They are designed to carry a heavier load because of the extra weight of all the AC parts.
