Ek's dont have struts, they have shocks. Struts and shock absorbers are two completely different things.

If you want to use eg rear shocks on your ek, you will need to add spacers in between the shock fork and the lower control arm.

Is it a certain fit for 92-95 rear shocks on a 96-00 civics? It looks to me like the rear lower forks aren't long enough on the 92-95 civics, so it won't clear the 96-00 civic lcas.

Basically, the rear lower fork arms don't look long enough, so it hits the lca, before the holes can line up. Can someone confirm this.
