Except if you have the SportsPack option, then the following are different.

Springs - about 50% stiffer
Shocks - Change from Boge to firmer Bilstein gas shocks
Shock mounting bushings - firmer material
Rack mounting bushings - stiffer

Cheers,

Both are ABS equipped front spindles. The steering racks are different. The 95 has the later zf rack. The racks perform the same but are different. They can be interchanged if needed
