i just got a fresh offer to the coilover kit from a EK hatch.. but i don't know if it fits my EG sedan.. so i want to ask some smarter people.. hit me with some quick answers..
you should be ok.
but your going to run into a problem with it
eg shocks are side dependant due to the brake line mounting to them, eks are not.
they should fit, but your going to need to figure something out with the brake lines

so with the rear brake lines i should just do then what? :D
or is it like "yoontim23" said.. that i will be OK.. it is either some used springs to the back or new coilovers to the rear and front

The lower mount on 96-00 civic rear shocks are smaller than on an eg. You may have to shave down the metal part of the bushing. Some lower mounts use a little spacer than you can just pop out though, depends on the lower mount. As for brake lines, nothing zip ties can't fix.

and i have the new energy suspension bushings also.. so.. they have the metal part also.. i will shave it..

okok, so it is just the brake lines zip-tie-tuning and the rear bushing spacer or what it is exactly.. someone could get me picture of what it is exactly ?
would be great !

The bushing where the lower rear shock meets the LCA will need to be shaved. Unless like said before, some coils come with a spacer to make the fit 92-00 civic's
Well either way it will fit. If it's just the sleeves just take it apart take out the stock springs and throw on the sleeves. If it's with the struts then you will need to go bay spacers for the rear put it on and your done.
