Default fitting 96-00 shocks onto 92-95 LCAs

I've heard that some modifications need to be done to make the rear LCAs of a 92-95 civic fit shocks from a 96-00 civic. However, I haven't found any information on how to do so. Could someone please educate me on this modification? I've got a 95 del sol Si with 200,000kms (bought it a couple of months ago), and I wouldn't mind upgrading as there are a few guys with 96-00 civics who are selling their shocks. thanks!

The fork-like bracket on the bottom of the 96-00 Civic strut is skinnier than the 92-95 Civic.

so, I will have to shave the rear lca then... should I just use a die grinder and go at it? Is the fork a lot skinnier?
