Default Accord springs. 94-95 vs 96-97, the difference?

Can someone please tell me why the springs are different for the 94-95 and the 96-97. I know its not because of the V6 because when i search for springs they themselves have different links just for the V6. the 90-93 and the 96-97 share the same springs, i dont get it.
I just need to know what the difference is between the two. Its the same exact car isnt it? Its odd, i dont get it, someone, anyone, please inform. The only thing i can come up with is this...the car was heavier perhaps in one of the two models and so the springs might be wound tighter perhaps?

The perches are set at a different height on the 94-95. Its less than an inch difference. You can still swap springs/shocks with any 90-97 accords. I used 94-95 springs on 96-97 shocks and it worked fine without any problems.
