you should be ok.
but your going to run into a problem with it
eg shocks are side dependant due to the brake line mounting to them, eks are not.
they should fit, but your going to need to figure something out with the brake lines

The lower mount on 96-00 civic rear shocks are smaller than on an eg. You may have to shave down the metal part of the bushing. Some lower mounts use a little spacer than you can just pop out though, depends on the lower mount. As for brake lines, nothing zip ties can't fix.

its not just the rear brake lines its all 4
they will fit, but your going to have to get creative with the brake lines most people just zip tie them,

The bushing where the lower rear shock meets the LCA will need to be shaved. Unless like said before, some coils come with a spacer to make the fit 92-00 civic's

Well either way it will fit. If it's just the sleeves just take it apart take out the stock springs and throw on the sleeves. If it's with the struts then you will need to go bay spacers for the rear put it on and your done.
