Default Are the 92-96 SC control arms bushings different from the 97-00?

I'm looking to get a full front and rear poly-urethane bushing kit for my car to replace the stock worn rubber versions. I've heard they're way stronger especially with a lowered car. I see Prothane kits but they say 92-96, is there a difference or will these still work the same without an issue?

Read both of these threads. There is some good information about lower control arm bushings.

Yes, In my case I had to take a dremel to the rear bushing hole. I had to cut away some of the metal in order just to slide the bushing in.

I used the Prothane 18-207-BL kit.

Oh by the way, I don't know if the bushing kit for the rear of the car is different. I am only talking about the bushing kit for the front of the car.
