there's a bunch of info at www.teamdelsol.com .

93-95
-------
S had rear drums, no sway bars, 1.5 non VTEC engine.

SI had 4 wheel disk brakes, front sway bar, 1.6 VTEC engine.

In 94 the DOHC "VTEC" model came out. Rear sway bar, stiffer springs. 94 and up had passanger side airbags.

95's had a trunk release and power door locks. I think they had ABS also.

All 96-97 had the "VTEC"s suspension and was OBD-2.

There are so many minor changes between the models and the years, that you would be much better off asking more specific questions...
