you will have to use the ek shock forks as well, the eg forks wont fit on the ek shocks, but the ek forks fit on the eg lower control arm, get what im saying.

first off i broke the bushing bolt while trying to put in lowering springs. then i found that there was no way of removing the rest of the bolt. so i was f*** it ill just cut the bottom of my shock mount to get the shock off. now i have to get a new bushing. the thick inner sleeve of the bushing looks as if it is to big and the 99 si shock mount wont fit. well if i just get a 99 si BUSHING. then will the 99 si shock fit, and will the 99 si bushing even fit into the whole on my 94 civic control arm??? the reason im putting 99 civic shocks on my car is i dont have any more 94 civic shocks and this is for temp only.

the shock fork is the Y looking piece. so you need the EK(99-00) shock forks that your 99-00 shocks were connected to, to connect on the LCA.

looks like the pic in this thread: http://hondamarketplace.com/zerothread?id=1083191

right the fork is the part that bolts to the bottom of the shock and then to the LCA. if you cut that the shock is fine and you can re=use it, but would need a new shock fork and stock bushing.

oh, ok, thats a differant ballgame all together. i dont think the rear shocks are interchangeable, unless the lca bushing is interchangeable.
