Default sti v3 heads

what i need to know.
if i fit a set of sti v3 heads

will my early classic coils fit ok?
i'm closer to sorting out what needs doing

the best way so far, is to change the whole heads
just need to make some final checks.

Yes, that's a better option than trying to find cams for your 1995 heads.

Yes they will fit, the 95 cam covers won't fit the V3 heads as the shape around the plug hole is different, but the mini coils will still fit. My car is an early 96 and I have V4 heads fitted with mini coils.

As I said, yes they will fit, they do have a bolt hole for the coils.
