Default question about struts/springs

will a 92-95 stock struts/springs (lx, dx) work on 96 2door ex? (si in canada)

im planning to switch back to stock springs/struts and can get a used set but from EG (LX, DX), but not sure it will be a bolt-up.
like the spindles are not the same on EX (SI canada) because of the big front brakes.

thanks in advance

The rears did not fit on my 97 that I got from a 92-95. The mounting bracket was too short to allow it to move to the point it needed to be in to be mounter to the body, if that makes sense.

I could mount them to the lca but they could only sit straight upward, they could not move at all. Maybe that's clearer.

Don't know if it was just the way the struts I got were made or all re that way. So be careful on the rears.

i think i know what you mean, it was a little tougher to get the rears on, but they do go on, and ride just fine
