Are all 'pork chops' the same for coupe & sedans?

Dane, I'm getting tired just reading your list! However, I have replaced both "pork chops" on my car over the last 2 years. One pork chop broke when I ran over some cones at high speed.
Edit: New Ground Control springs arrived. Haven't actually put them on yet but that is the plan for tonight or tomorrow night. Let me count the nutty twists and turns.... 20 (wheels) + 2 (shocks) + 2 (ride height sensors) + 2 (swaybar links) + 2 (pinch bolts) + 6 (camber plates) + 2 (strut top nuts) = 34 bolts/nuts to be removed and replaced to install 4 springs. +4 more (38 total) if I have to remove rear shocks completely to adjust them for stiffer springs. (I think I can adjust them with just the bottoms disconnected.) If I need to readjust the rear ride height a few times that will be a few more lug nuts.

I took the first pic about 35 years ago just south of Garrison Dam on the Missouri River and took the second one today. I had printed a copy of a scan of the old pic to help to get the positioning right but forgot to take it with today so I had to guess. Came pretty close on a couple of the pics. Might have to do it again once it greens up this summer.

if you can get the same positioning, that would make a great composition in the Diptych thread!
