I only post the front RH side, but you can already see the parts numbers are different.

They don't import the 05+ lowering springs from Japan probably the demand is too low.
I read the Japanese specs sheet years ago and I remember it only said the length was different. It said nothing about the fitment tho.

Why don't you give it a try since you got them for free?
