Nope....Mine are on a 4th gen. but Ive seen it on a 5th gen. and it was fine. The only drawback to these springs is they are really soft ....if I could do it over again I would have gone with the nuespeeds or H&R Races .....but if you want a pillow soft ride then you got the right springs.....

Soft as in smooth .....I daily drive my prelude so its a great spring,good drop and comfortable ride......they will settle in within 2 weeks ,so expect a little more drop than what you see when you put them on! I think you will be pretty happy with them on a 5th gen...just make sure to post pics when you are done so i can see it!!!!!

I guess I have a second thought on dropping mine only 1.3 in... 2 or 3in. Sounds good too me. But then again I have to be able to handle these damn potholes where i live... lol sounds to me like you got a good deal there...
