yes, i read that a ucf10 would fit a ucf20.

BUT! you would not be able to raise it up soo high (for whatever reason you wanna raise it up) because the overall length of the struts of the 10"s are shorter than the 20's.

I am not 1000000% sure, but that is what I understood.

Try searching it, it has been covered before I believe (key words: ucf10 ucf20 coilovers)

good luck!

Are you getting Megan EZ's? The EZ's are meant for 95-00 but can fit on the 90-94.

doesnt matter, both EZ and LP were originally designed using the UCF1x, i knew the guy who ran the prototypes back in the day

if you put the 90-94 on the 95-97 it should be really low. i did the opposite and at max height i was still 2-2.5 inches lower than stock (90 ls400 with 95-97 k-sport kontrol pros- pretty stiff, but it was a sweet handling ride)
