Default 98-00 coilovers-94-97 accord??? need help quick

Guy on craigslist selling a new set of coilovers still in box for $60. they are in an unmarked box so he doesnt know the exact make and stuff but he says they are the same dimensions as his 98-00 accord. My question is, will they fit on my 95 accord? i'd like an answer quick so i can jump on these if they'll work.

"The front springs measure 7.25 inches tall and the rear springs measure 8.5 inches tall. All 4 springs are 3.5 inches OD and 2.5 inches ID.
Comes with adjustable spring cups, 4 springs, new bushings, o-rings, and wrenches to cover two front and two rear wheels. All for $60.00."

please help?

It's possible they might "fit" but I doubt they will work/behave properly (I've never looked at the differences in suspension between the two gens).

I've never seen a coilover or spring set that was marketed for both the 5th and 6th gen. If someone's found something though, feel free to prove me wrong.

From your description these sound like "ebay" coilovers too... so that's another factor you've got to consider (build quality, ride quality, etc). I'm sure you are familiar with that though.

Yeah, i was thinkin about that. they do look like the ebay coilovers. And yeah i was trying to see if anyone had the specs on spring rates/sizes and comparisons of the 5th-6th gens to see what the differences are. I'll just stick with my tokico's.
