Default 4th & 5th Gen spring the same?

The reason why I am asking is because I just order H&R Race and the box had the part number for my car a 5th gen but the spring had part number for the 4th gen. Are they the same or different?

They are the same EXCEPT the 5th gen Type SH OE springs are longer then the rest (although you CAN USE the regular 4-5th gen springs on an SH).

Aftermarket springs are never the same between the two because of how much heavier the 5gen is. Shocks usually are.

well i did call h&r and they said that the springs are both the same and will fit both cars, its the drop spec that are different from the 4th gen and the 5th gen.

Im just wondering if someone has a 5th gen prelude and ordered the h&r race springs and had the same question that im having.
