yup. 1991-1997 are the Fj/FZJ-80 model years. all the front coils will be the same with the only exception being how much they've sagged according to the miles on them.
i would personally prefer some w/a ton of miles and good and sagged. that way, what you get is what you get and they will be good and soft and won't sag anymore...

all fj80 front coils will work, just depends on how much lift u want. Every one says get 95's because they offer the least amount of lift 3"-3.5". More than that is a lot for the stock control arm setup. Plus it's harder to get the front any higher to match a lift 4" or higher in the rear.
I should be getting my 95's in the mail next week, can't wait. They're used so lift amount should not change.

hehehe... I put a set or 19.5" tall ones ( year unknown) in the back of mine... It had REALLY worn out PP springs in the back to start so lift amount is unknow too... I have NEW tundra coils front with 2 top up spacers, and the back sits 1 full inch taller still.... From what I understand tundra coils give 2" and then 2-3/8" top up spacers per side.... so 2 3/4" total front.... so that would have given me 3 3/4" rear.....
