the front control arms are different on the 92-95 civics versus the 96-00. so while the rear will work, the front will not.
how bad is your camber? i'd just get a 0 toe aligment.

get an 0 toe aligment. if you have severe inner edge wear, thats toe. the negative camber accelerates this wear. so if you get it set to 0 you'll greatly reduce this accelerated wear on the inner edge no matter what your camber is at.

i think not. camber is more important than caster and toe. I will guarantee that your cars tires will eat up with offset camber and 0 toe. DONT listen to chris, do the investigation your self.
