identifying A-spec suspension

I have searched but couldn't find any conclusive answers.
I have an 04 tl with the aspec body kit. I would like to make sure I don't have the suspension also. I'm 99% sure I do not. I want to lower the car a little and improve handling without sacrificing ride, as it is my daily driver.
My question is, is there any physical charachteristics I can look at on the damper assembly to make SURE I don't have aspec before I drop the loot on a suspension kit? I have a 5at but would purchase the kit for a 6mt btw. Thanks in advance. Also if I overlooked the answer somewhere in search, I apoligize for the repost.

The part number for the 5at a-spec suspension is 08W60-SEP-200...the number should be visible without taking the wheel off. Otherwise, I think the suspension looks the same as stock.

And the 5AT/6MT kits are interchangable.

If I have time tomorrow, and no one else responds, I can pull the part number off of the 6mt aspec suspension

Same number except an A is added for the manual aspec. At least that is what the box says
