Goodridge brake hose kit for 5th gen Prelude?!?

I want to buy a Goodridge brake hose kit for my 5th gen Prelude but according to Goodridge of Germany it is only available for 3rd and 4th gen Preludes. The weird thing is that a lot of shops in the US are selling this kit for 5th gen Preludes (base and SH) and I "know" a lot of 5th gen owners in the US who use it, too. How is that possible? Is the kit for the 5th gen the same as the one for the 4th gen Prelude?
Thanx for your help!

I ordered a set of brake lines from Jackson Raceing. They came with Goodridge logos on them so I'm sure Goodridge makes them for 5th Gen Preludes. Wether they're the same as 4th Gen I don't know.

I did run into a small problem when installing them. They came with new bolts for the caliper end. I noticed they were a bit shorter than the stock bolts but I decided to go with them anyway. Bad choice! One of the heads twisted of at the factory torque spec of 28 ft.lbs (I think thats right, check that out before you use it!). I went back to the factory bolts and they worked fine with the new lines.

Results were much better pedal feel.
