'08 Type-S, difference between OEM front springs.

Time to finally begin putting the car back to stock.

Somehow, in the three or so years my OEM suspension has been in storage, I lost one of my front springs.

Now I need to reorder one, but I have no idea whether the one I have is for the driver's or passenger's side.

Is there any way to tell what side the spring I have is for? There are NO part numbers anywhere on the spring itself, just some paint markings.

As they are different part numbers, see if Acura will order new front springs, try and match up the spring that is similar to yours, purchase the other. This is assuming that the front springs are a different height and/or diameter.

They're physically identical in regards to size/shape. I'm guessing the only difference is spring rate, but who knows, they might have different part numbers just because.

I'll probably just order the right side and hope it's the correct one.
