EG shocks and springs onto an EK, washer placement question.

I have a chance of getting good suspension parts (shocks/springs) from an EG on my 98 DX coupe. I've tried to look this swap up and people keep mentioning some kind of gap in the rear LCA, due to it being skinnier on the EK?
This was in the following thread:

Can someone describe to me what they mean? Where is the gap? Where do the washers go? Does anyone have any pics?
Thanks in advance,

basically you have to put in two washers that should come with the shock. they go on both sides of the LCA to make it fit nice and snug. with my tokicos it came with those washers, but i have a 95 civic so i didn't need them. apparently the EK's LCA is thinner.
