According to the Bilstein product application guide, the standard FE1 (listed as Heavy Duty in the guide) shocks are the same for a '93 and a '95.
Front P/N = B46-2053
Rear P/N = B46-2054
Since they carry the same P/N, I wouldn't expect the shocks to make a measureable difference in the ride (unless your current shocks are shot).
