R1 or R2 for Touring?

Another Noob question. I am going to order some Eibach Pro-kit springs for my FD Touring. I found one site that lists them for a good price but they list two different items, one for the R1 and one for the R2. Every other site only lists one for the 93-96 FD.

1) Does that make sense?
2) Is the Touring the R2 suspension?
3) Anyone ever use http://www.modacar.com ?

OK, I think I found my answer to #2. R2 is the sport suspension version for 95-95 models right? I'm guessing that the correct choice would be the springs for R2. Any other ideas? Would this possibly be why some have had trouble installing the springs and have to rotate them to fit on the mounts?

The R2 used a softer setup than the R1. It's possible, they just used the same setup from the original Touring for the R2 but I'm not sure. *If* there is a choice from where you order from, pick R2.

I've never ordered from Modacar. I've visited their site many times though and they seem reputable.
