Rears will not fit right, the LCA on an EK is thinner than the EG making the fork on the rear shock of the EG wider. Fronts will fit.

you can use washers in the rear to fit them and make up for the wider EG forks

coilover companies usually include washer/spacers with coilover setups so they can make them 92-00 civic compatible. It's perfectly safe and i have no idea how many you'll have to use

the tops hats fit fine? How much space on each side of the washer are we talking here, maybe around a 1/4"? thanks for your help btw
