Difference between the H&R springs 288111-1 / 288111-2

I bought a set of used springs on craigslist, I guess i bought the wrong ones. I have a 4dr 4matic! I bought the 288111-1 and it should be the 288111-2, but whats the difference??

probably the spring rate? But I did the same thing and works just fine. I live in Toronto Canada so going too low wasn’t a logical option. Only issue if u bought coilovers, now those are completely different.
