Front will not fit unless you get the lower A arms. I dont know if the SI will fit a ctr but I swapped out my whole suspension with an SI because the forks were too small to fit on it. Dont know about the rear.

Why?
The Si/CTR FLCAs are the same. They have the same tubular construction, wider forks, and ball end sway bar links that link up to a 26mm bar.
However, none of that has anything to do with the EK9's struts fitting. The struts are the same diameter. The EK9 struts should fit onto any 92-00 civic or 94-01 integra (maybe even the EF/DA chassis) just the same.

If you order a CTR suspension, the rear will fit also. The ITR and JDM EG6 (and 88 CRX HF) have boxed lower RLCAs. The 96-00 civics all have the stamped steel LCAs.
The ITR rear will not fit any 96-00 civic no matter what. You can not put the ITR's boxed RLCAs on the 96-00 civic.
Make sure you're ordering CTR parts and not ITR parts.
