Rear ARB diameter - 4g & 5g same @23mm?

Looking around for rear ARB bushes for the BB4, and it seems the OEM part number is the same for 4g and 5g cars ... 52315-SS0-010, which equates to ADH part no. ADH28080.
Most Blueprint sellers quote this part for 5g only, though.
Is the rear ARB setup the same on 4g and 5g? i.e. are these the right bushes for me?
(P.S. yeah, I know, but I don't have my measuring caliper here and would like to get some ordered!
)

Yes mate they are the same diameters front and back for OEM ARBs. Not sure about the Type-S though.

I dont know if 5th gen ones are the same but i suspect they are - iv just taken the rear arb bushes off my BB4 so i could fit energy suspension uprated ones. The 4th gen ones are 23mm at the back and 25mm at the front. Ive got both sets with the metal brackets if your wanting them. Id say theyre in good condition.

no probs - got a spare (new) front energy suspension set in red - has the drop link bushes as well - only got standard oem for the rear arb tho.

Wish I'd asked that a couple of weeks ago ... needed front ARB bushes and couldn't get poly ones anywhere. On back order from the US, and not expected until at least February.
Even OEM ones were on back order til the end of January, but my local H dealer's computer showed last two pairs in stock (in the whole of the UK) in Bury St Edmunds. So I just got a set of them sent up.

Give @Scott@H-Tune a shout if you want poly, although I think he's away at the moment.

Energy Suspension 16.5122 is the one you want
I've got none @ our USA warehouse, and it takes 12 days for us to get them to the warehouse from Energy.
It doesn't show a back order on our system, How do you know they are back ordered?

That was the front ones, Scott. Here's the emails I got about them ...
Hond-R: "I am afraid we have no stock of the these and neither do energy suspension in the USA. You are the second person this week to enquire about these. Energy USA have informed us that its around a 4 week lead time for these (towards the end of January)."
Lings Honda (OEM): "Sorry but no, there does seem to be a shortage of them at the moment, ETA would be February of next year..."
