Yes, the fronts will work perfectly, you will just need to find a way to secure the brake lines.


The rears you will need to shave a bit of the lower control arm bushing, as the the 92-95is different from 96-00. A little more work would be to switch the 92-95 bushing for a 96-00 bushing.

It might depend on the coilovers... I have Skunk2 Pro-S coilovers and they fit all 92-00 civics, 94-01 Integras... They come with a set of spacers to use on 96-00 civics in the rear due to the different size LCAs...

Cool thanks, i knew that for 92-95 civic sturts to work on a 96-00 you need spacers but i didnt know how it worked for 96-00 on a 92-95 civic. But thanks for the knowledge i thought i was going to buy some TEIN superstreets but i ended up buying something different,

Thanks again!
