Default H&R springs identification - HELP

Hi guys,

I have a quick quick question on how to identify whether or not these H&R springs are meant for the RWD or AWD. I've seen black and blue variants but cant' definitively find a proper answer on how to tell the difference without knowing the exact part number eg 29122-1 or 29122-3. I know thow the -3 is AWD and -1 is RWD but im planing on purchasing these springs, but just need to make sure its for the RWD variant.

We dont have the AWD model here in South Africa, so im pretty sure it should be the RWD springs unless he imported the wrong springs.

Does anyone know if there a visual difference between the RWD & AWD? the seller doesnt know the last piece of the part number. i was hoping the colour might mean something like blue is RWD and black is AWD but i dont think thats the case...
[See pics attached]

the springs are exactly the same physically
part numbers are only for cataloguing purposes
i've confirmed this with H&R USA

Brilliant!!! Thanks a million...what about the colour differences though? Some are black and others are blue? Only cosmetic difference?

they're all dark blue for the 2IS now
either the black in pictures are just a "general photo" that's not specific to your vehicle
or they've completely changed the colour on all
mine was dark blue

Thought as much, thanks Reyoasian, you've been a great help. Springs have been purchased, will post some pics once installed.

How does it feel comparing to the stocks? Rougher? Smoother? Etc

Compared to stock, the drive is stiffer but not uncomfortably so, just as smooth as stock, body roll is drastically reduced, and handling feels more sportier steering feels sharper. Over bumpy roads you will get alot more road feedback. Overall im very impressed with the H&R springs...however bear in mind it drops more than 35mm, haven't measured it exactly but looks great and handles well.
