If the cars are both 93, nothing! The shocks were the main (only?) difference in the different suspensions. The springs got a little softer in 94, but it was a very minor change.

Max is right the springs are the same. The main difference with the shocks is the R1s have a lot more front compression damping.

The damping plots for both are listed here:
