You will need to modify the rear shock mount bushings!!! On 92-95, they are wider. it's not a simple bolt on thing.

Also, for the front you wil have to zip tie the brake lines to the shocks, as there wont be a mount for them.

You have to grind a bit off each side of the shock bushing in the lower control arm, Some manufacturers (Tokico is one) make their shocks for an EG and send spacers with them so they can be used on an EK)
