Default 96 Civic Suspension Question?

Looking for some help!
Is it possible that a 96 Civic Coupe(EK) has '95 spec suspension?
Is there a differnece between a '96+ spring and a -'95 spring? (lenght, no.of coils etc.) Is there a difference between a rear Hatch spring and a rear Coupe spring?

Hope you guys can help me out?

yeah, it's possible, I swapped springs and shocks from a 93 to a 97....the 97 sat really high afterwards.

I asking this because I want to order some springs/shocks and I'm wondering if I should order '96+ spec. ones or '95 spec ones? I had the shocks out before and I think they had 95 stamped on them?

the front shocks are the same fitment
the rear shocks fork is a little wider on the 92-95 civic, you can still run these shocks on a 96, you just have to put a couple of washers on both sides on the lower control arm.
the springs should be different, most likely the rate, with the height being a negligable difference, i would still get the springs for the correct yaer unless you really have your heart set on the eg springs
