E93 suspension vs E92 suspension

I'm in the market for some new suspension either new or used, but I have a question when it comes to buying used coils. I'm finding a lot of coilovers for both the e90 and e92 but very few for the e93. My question was is coilovers on the coupe and sedan would fit on the convertible? I've heard many times that everything will fit but the spring rates are different because the convertible is heavier.

What effect would this have on the car in general and would it be a bad idea to put coils from a e92/90 onto a e93?

E93 is heavier

E90 or E92 suspension would not handle the additional weight very well.

E93 or E91 ( wagon ) are same aftermarket for dampners and springs.
