For the JDM EG or DC? Which is it? The IT-R will have the diff' rear LCA's. Have you tried looking into the CT-R rear LCA's? Otherwise, you might have to use the standard rear struts.

Yeah, from Daygo... North County.
Daym! Can't find my EK rear-lower tie bar to compare to my EG rear-lower tie bar. But I could have sworn the EK tie bars are shorter than the EG tie bars making the EK have the longer rear LCA's than the EG's. Plus, I recently did a complete 4-wheel disk brake conversion on my buddy's EK and I remember noticing how long the rear LCA's.
Anyway, the differences between the suspensions on the 92-95 Civic's and the 96-00 Civics are:
· Front-upper control arms
· Rear-lower control arms
· Stiffness in bushings
· Strut/spring rates
IT-R rear-lower control arms are different as well. Never seen the CT-R rear-lower control arms before.
Which style do your control arms look like...
or...

Hey! Sorry for hijacking the thread, but f22b-dohc started this thread for me...
Here's what I've got:
I'm driving a 2000 Civic 4-door (yes, sedan - boooooooooo)
the rear LCA looks similar to the picture on top,
but the control arm that came attached to the Cusco is similar to the lower picture
my current LCA on my car right now seems to also be around 2" longer from the outter most bolt-holes (I don't know what they're called) than the JDM Control arms that came with the cusco's...
hope that helps a bit... If I can't find a good way to get these Cusco's to fit, I'll be looking at selling them I guess.

Well, you can't use any EG/DC LCA's. You'll have to stick to the LCA's for your year Civic. They're longer. It seems your rear struts and LCA's are for an IT-R. If they made a CT-R rear LCA that is like the bottom picture, but longer, then you'll need those. Otherwise, you'll have to use the standard style rear shocks that look like the top picture.
