Default Will the springs from an '04 xkr fit on an 02 XJR?

Was gifted a set of lowering springs from a '04 xKr, will the front springs (blue mina gallery in photo below) fit my .02 xJr?

Mina gallery blue one for the front

No, nice, different aftermarket springs front to rear, that'd make it interesting... Ask mina? wonder if they'd swap you the XJR set?

I will call them tomorrow. I'm planning on only trying the fronts which ought to make it very close to level. Right now the front is 1" higher than the rear. Supposedly these lower 1.2"

Ooooh, please do try both. I'm particularly interested to see if the H&Rs will work. If they do, they would offer another step in lowering at 1.5", since most of the XJR specific spring tend to be in the 1"-1.25" range. My only concern is that the spring rates may be off, since the XK is a little lighter and the weight is distributed a little differently. Anybody have spring rate info for anything? There are some spring rates and lengths I'd be interested in knowing for comparison, all of course based on if the XK springs physically fit or not:

-Stock XJR
-Mina Gallery XJR
-Arden XJR
-Stock XKR
-Mina Gallery XKR
-H&R XKR
