Maybe the same but wouldn't know off hand.
Would imagine spoiler size has a part to play maybe different springs?

Holders same.
Changed my STI spring for a WRX spring and fitted my STI spring to Ciaran's WRX (I went to a WRX low rise spoiler and Ciaran running the Prodrive full spoiler).

Don't undo those nuts on the bracket with spring in situ whatever you do, unless you want to lose a limb with the spring snapping free... Need to use a bar (or two even better if a 2nd person there to help) to torque the spring to take tension off (so tension on bar instead of bracket) and then can flip retainers and move it off the bracket. After that lower you bar to release tension on spring and comes out easily. Bit of a pig as risk of slipping and (violently) uncoiling spring, but take your time and not that difficult.
