i think the lca's are larger on your 92 hatch. but you might want to recheck it with some other sources.

don't listen to people....

the fronts are the same...no problems there.

BUT, for the rears, the 96-00 Civics have a more narrow fork on the shock, compared to the 92-95 Civic and the 94+ Tegs. The length of the shock is the same as well as the damper potential. What you need to to is grind down your stock LCA shock bushing- the metal sleeve. Just don't let it get too hot at once, or the rubber inserts will melt and you'll have a sloppy bushing. I usually use a bench grinder or an angle grinder, and slowly grind it down. You need to take off about 1/8-1/4 inch off each side. I have done this several times without any problems.

Oh, and EK and EG LCA's are way different in length...so don't even think about it
