You should specify as EJ1 are a direct fit but EJ6 and EJ7 require a bushing swap.

Regardless, I answered your other thread with a yes.

If using 96-00 shocks on a 92-95 you can get away with an appropriately thick washer on either side of the bushing. Otherwise all 92-95 civic and 94-01 integra shocks are the same.

Life was so much easier when everyone just said what car they were talking about instead of most likely misusing a chassis code...

^^Wouldnt it be the other way around? I thought EG forks were wider then the EK.

So that would mean you would have to shave off a little of the EG shock bushing for it to mount correctly.

Correct the 5th gen forks are narrower. "Spacers" work for eg> ek but not vice versa.

You would need to replace the shock forks.
