Slightly different rates, but they will work.

The 98-02 rear springs are 114 lb./in., 93-97 rear springs are 110 lb./in..
I don't see you noticing a difference .

Depends on what you are looking for. If you are going for drag racing you want softer rates in front, stiffer in the rear. If you are going for handling you want stiffer front, softer rear(in comparison to drag springs).
These springs honestly should be close enough to where you wont notice a difference between them.
