I was told 96-00 LCAs are longer that the 92-95 LCAs. Not positive though, never compared them myself.

^Well you are kinda right. I took 5 mins out of my busy life to Search and compared the two myself, And there's no way it'll work. OP is talking about the Front LCA's, not the rear, which i believe all 88-95 civic/92-97 Delsol/94-01 Integra, are the same size.

There are front and rear LCAs. The lower ball joint is on the end of the front LCA. Most people don't get madd tyte front LCAs from aftermarket cause people don't see them like the Rear LCAs.

Front LCA is #8 in this pic.

No. Dont order. Look for one online from someone parting out. or order a pair for 96-98.

I REALLY hope you aren't talking to me there. You have NO IDEA how much searching I do. No to mention a side-by-side comparison is what I was talking about, not a picture comparison.

well i had some 96 front lower control arms from a ek hatch. and the front lower control arms on my 92 where ****ed up so i switched them up with the 96 and they fit. so if a 96 could fit in to a 92 i would not see why they would not fit. my fit perfect
