Default 6th Gen Strut Question

Did search but could not find what I was looking for.
Question, would struts from a 98 civic coupe, fit on a 95 civic sedan? And vice versa. I am planning on selling my coupe and getting the sedan, I was gonna my install my struts on the sedan, and the sedan struts on the coupe.
(my struts are tokico blues (hp) with ground control coilovers. and the sedan struts are stock.) Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

front struts might work but the rears surely wont work. I tried it too.

The 6th Gen shocks are what...thinner? Is that right? I seem to recall that you can shave down the bushing on the 5th Gen LCA and then the shocks will fit.

Not sure at all though.

front 6G struts don't have a bracket to hold the brake line like you have on the 5G front struts. That is the only difference that I am aware of.

delsolguy and kommon sense are both right. You can shave your rear lca bushings down to fit the 6g strut. And you will have to find a way to accommodate your brake lines.
