H&R on this website

So I think I'm going to go with the H&R OE springs for the CL-S. I came across this website. If I'm not mistaken the Part # for the H&R OE is 51858-55. This is for the TL, correct? Now, the part # is the same for the 98+ Accord Coupe. I click on the H&R OE's for the accord and the price w/ tax comes out to $136.96 with shipping included. If I add the Acura TL OE Springs the cost is $181.72 with tax and shipping, BUT THE PART # IS STILL THE SAME (51858-55), just the make and model are changed to the TL. So my question is, can I get away with ordering the "accord" springs and save myself $50?

What do you guys think?

i would at least get the h&r sport. the OE hardly lowers the car at all.

Yeah I know, but I seem to drive over a lot of unforgiving roads/ huge speed bumps here in Cali, so I want to keep a decent ride height. I'm also plus sizing to 18 X 8's, and am trying to avoid any rubbing issues as well. Anyone else??
