92-95 all the same. 96-00 the fronts are the same but the rear is smaller than 92-95 on the bottom so the Lower control arms will need to be trimmed.

just get 92-95 struts, no reason to buy something that wasn't made for your car, all thats doing is asking for problems. Like Ya Digg said, it could be made to work, but please don't. If you need new struts, and still have stock springs, just order some OEM replacements and call it a day.

I know its just its easier to find 96+ parts around here so to find 92-95 I'll have to either go to the Honda specialists(which over charge) or go far.I'll see about ordering some online though....So will hatch back and coupe struts work or are they different than the coupe ones?

If you are going to use them take off the lower control arm and trim it down a bit if you know anyone with a grinder ot even a dremel will do it will take longer with a dremel but it will do the job. I have done it before not hard at all.
