Default Will DC2 shocks fit on a EK?

As the title states, will the DC2 shocks fit on a EK?? I know that the DC2 shock forks are different but i'm not sure if the top mount are different. Thanks! Sorry for spamming I'm kind of in a hurry to find out.

Will the lower part of the mounting need mods? what if i use a DC2 lower control arms? front(plus crossmember) and rear?

Will the top mount match?

Thanks!

if its the type r then no, but if its regular integra gsr,ls,gs, yea they'll fit, the fronts will fit right in, the rears u need to add washers since the shock forks are wider than the thin lcas on EKs

Tokico illuminas are the same part number for all 92-00 civics AND 94-01 tegs

The instructions say exactly what batallic said, to add washers in the rear
