Default will stock EK civic (96-00) suspension fit EG civic (92-95)?

EDIT: forgot suspension in the title lol

After comparing the two, the springs appear to be almost identical, but the EK shocks appear to be slightly longer but its hard to tell if that will cause them not to work properly or not. My EG shocks are toast and the EK shocks are almost new so Id like to use them if possible. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The Front ones should fit, the back ones however will not. the fork on the bottom isnt wide enuff.

The front ones should fit but the brackets for the brake lines are different. The rears are like he said different where it mounts to the lower control arm.

Don't quote me but you may be able to swap out lower control arms with a set from a EK and make them work.

EK rear lca's can fit the EG, but the geometry will be wrong. you can grid down the bushings on the EG lca's so u can use EK shocks on the EG. I kno b/c i have 00 si GC's and AGX's on my car (i got them for $300, couldnt wait for the proper eg shocks). btw, agx's for the rear on EK's are 8 way, while the EG/DC application is only 4way
