Are H&Rs different for first and second gen?

Hey guys,
Im thinking about buying some H&Rs off a member. Theyre for a second gen. Will they fit my 93 altima? I checked the H&R website, and the part numbers are different, but the drop is the same. I thought the suspensions were the same on first and second gens. Can anyone let me know whether I can buy the second gen springs? Thanks.

ill say this much...i used Intrax springs off a 1st gen Altima, and they worked fine, fit fine, and i didnt have any problems with them (other than they were a bit low/too soft for most of the stuff i do...which is carry up to 3 other people and guitar equipment...so i needed stiffer springs hence my H&Rs). if the 2nd Gen springs arent from an 00-01 they should work...hopefully other people will comment and will give more thumbs up!

H&Rs do rock though!

Got my H&R's from DaveM, they were for a second gen but they were fine, fit with no problems.

Arent they designed for the heavier second gen?

I checked some site by changing the model year of my altima from 97 to 2000, and it gave me the same answer for which springs to buy.
