Cruzer vs STOL Gear Springs

Are the Gear Springs for the Cruzer (P/N: C75L2-1 Main Gear Spring) and the STOL (P/N: 75L2-1 Tundra Main Gear Spring) the same?They have different part numbers/names but I know Zenith has been moving towards more commonality amongst parts.  The build guide for the Cruzer actually shows the STOL part number and some of the pictures for mounting the gear are of a STOL.If they are not the same, what are the differences and are they bolt-off/bolt-on interchangeable?See More
