Default spring assembly question...

is the complete stock spring assembly (assembly including the shocks) from 92-95 coupes/sedans swappable onto 96-00 civics?

I ask as I have access to a 94 coupe that was rolled and was wanting to convert my suspension to stock again...being able to just take out the assembled strut/spring assembly and toss in my car without having to use spring compressors, etc would be very nice to do if you ask me...

Yes, just use washers on the rear struts where they bolt up to the LCA and you'll be set.

ooo is this because the back struts are wider at the bottom forks?? how many washers and what kind would I need?? why couldn't I just torque it down nice and hard so as to bend the bottom forks inward so they contacted properly??

i do have an impact gun after all.

is the spring rate the same or would it lower the car some or raise it some??
