They will work, the shocks should be the be the same.

I assume one has rear disk the other does not? And one has a rear sway bar and the other does not?

yea my old car had the conversion 93, then i wrote it off. all i could get off of it were the rotors, calipers and shocks from the rear. all i did was throw my rims on the other shell and rip it. took a quick look and they are different. i was wondering if it was just design differences or if the shock set up was different. also the hub looks different so i dont know if my gsr brake will fit.. hopfully they will

It works fine, you can even use them on 96-2000 Civics if you had the spacers for the rear.

your kind of correct, but kind of wrong.

You are correct he can use 96-00 on his car, however, where you are wrong is need spacers.

He would actually need to shave his bushings for the fork to fit, if he were using 92-95 on 96-00 he would need spacers.

92-95 have wider forks,and bushings then 96-00.
