Default Will '98 LS400 springs and struts fit a '92

I'm buying a set of used Megans out of a '92. In exchange, I was going to supply the '92 with my '98 springs and struts. What I need to know is if this will work?

No...the strut assembly from the 2-LS is longer than the 1-LS. Vague memory, I want to say it was like 2" some odd difference.

But it looks like the Megan's will work. The website says they fit '92-'00 years.

dude seriously you need to SEARCH.

the megans were made and developed on a 89-94 chassis and will fit and work on any ls made 89-00

coilovers made for the 95-00 (like the Tein CS-T) will NOT work on the 89-94 because of the differences in piston length. conversely, running 89-94 shocks or coils on your 95-00 will never let you get back to full MAX HEIGHT for the same reason.
