No and no. There was a thread by twohoos around here that documented the differences. You can use the AP2 suspension in an AP1, and vice versa, but the spring rates and damping curves are different.

^Thanks for remembering.

Springs:

Shocks (not as much hard data here):

Side note: Since the perches are the same for all shocks, you can actually use *any* OEM spring (front or rear) on any *OEM* shock (front or rear). The damping performance might suffer, of course.
