Replace 900S rear shocks/springs with 2002 SE parts?

Hello:
Not sure how to put this. Not certain of the year of the junkyard car (late 2002 or 2003). Doesn't appear to be a Viggen.
Question: Replace worn shocks/springs on my 1995 900S with 265k miles (original springs; shocks 6.5 years old) with parts I liberated form a wrecked 2002/2003 Turbo sedan? I ASSUME the shocks will fit (per research at Eeuroparts), but what about the springs? Would they also be a good candidate for replacement?
Wrecked car has unknown mileage (all front end damage). Rear shocks didn't appear to be leaking at all. When I took then off the car, when the load was off them, the shock immediately expanded! There appears to be lots of life left in them! The shock mounts were not ripped or aged in the least (the shock access panel in the trunk had not been cut!).
Thoughts? Opinions? I know I could just buy new ones from a site sponsor, but I couldn't resist the price of these babies from Pick-A-Part; each shock was $6, and each spring was $10. $32 total.
