Determining A-Spec suspension VS regular suspension

OK, some poeple may know my saga of trading in my 05 AT TL for a 05 MT TL. The car does sit noticably lower but I don't know how to tell if it has the A-spec installed or not. It doesnt look like I could lower it a whole lot more and it looks to me like it is lower than my old one. Any way to determine what is what here?
Heres the 6MT:

They look the same to me You can check the part number on either of the front coilovers to see if they are ASPEC. Personally, I doubt it...someone would've had to have installed the suspension only...if I remember correctly, you got the car new, and the dealer isn't going to do that.

You never saw a Deep Green Pearl TL before? This was thier demo car color from what I have heard. They stopped making it in 2006. Kinda fitting though for a Marine!

It is noticeable if your 6spd MT has installed stock suspension and or installed A spec suspension. if you are driving a normal speed and the car is swinging side by side and floaty rides that means the car has only stock suspension.
