Default 2004 suspension, shock spring question

Will an OEM suspension (shocks springs) from a 2004 S2000 lower a 2002's ride hight? If so how much? I think from what I have read it is a bit softer in the rear to help keep the rear end in place.
When I look at the 2004/05 cars they appear to be lower

Although I can't answer your question specifically, what you see could just be an optical illusion based on the fact that the newer cars have 17" rims and lower profile tires to make up for it.

I have 04 springs and rear bar on my 01. I can't back this up with measurements(yet) but both my son and I feel that the rear "seems" to sit lower and the front slightly higher than stock.

isnt the only difference between the ap1 and ap2 suspension the spring rates? ap1 is a harder, and ap2 is softer. so the ride height shouldn't change at all.
