I doubt this...
I would assume theyre exactly the same as the 92-95 civic and 94-01 Integra, just with a different size (larger) fork.

It's actually the EG/DC that has the wider rear fork. Most companies will make ONE shock for all three, but package it with some sets of spacers for use on the EK chassis.

KONI actually does not use washers, the fork is just smaller on the EK/EJ version.
