dude its the same car/chassis since 1992. just about everything is interchangeable including specifications on almost everything.

why do you think it would be any different if it one year or another if it is the same generation of car?

The alignment specifications are most likely different between the years because the tire sizes changed in 1995 and the control arm design changed in 1997 or 1999.

I do not have the numbers but I'd think they are different. You obviously can't assume they are the same, take the LS400 for example. The suspension was changed in 1993.

Here are the specs for a 1998. I believe everything suspension-wise from 1997 to 2000 are the same. Everything that ISFFUN said is true.
