Default difference between a 95 and a 96

hey... i was wondering if anyone could tell me if a coilover set for a 95 civic would fit a 96.... when i looked it up on a mechanics page... the diagrams showed that the suspension was virtually the same on both cars... so i was wondering if a set of coilovers for a 95 would fit my 96... particularly becuase i want to buy megan racing adjustable coilovers... but they make them for 92-95.. and then 00 and on... completely skipping my generation.. so.. if anyone knows anything that will help.. please let me know.. thanks...

the one main thing I see is the LCA... cause the LCA is bigger on the 96 then the 95, but I dont knwo if that would make the difference.

Cheaper coil-overs usually will work with 1992-2000 civics, del sols, etc., but are bouncy as hell. I would personally get a set of lowering springs made for your year civic. H&R or Tein make good springs for like $200. If coil overs are your thing get nice ones, Skunk 2 makes ones for only like $300. Or get a full set up from Tein, H&R, Tokico, etc.

try looking for your car on either bilstein or neuspeed and see how those years match up.. as a second opinion to what burner said.. (on a side note, if i were going to go with col overs, bilstein makes an awesome civic pakage.. but its 1200.00

okay... i appreciate your replies... i know that i have to go with coilovers... and the ones from megan racing are the ones that i really want to go with... the are not cheap though.. 1200 is a lot of money to just guess at... so you guys have given me some good ideas.. thanks...

is that the one that has two sets of springs so it keeps comfort but increses handling at higher speeds? or am i thinking of something else?
