You'll probly want to just piece it together, not sure how different the bushings are between the 2 but I'm guessing a few bushing wont fit in the rear, go with hard rubber bushings too, why poly? They're cheap, sure, but from what people say they don't last all that long especially compared the hard rubber.

The trailing arm bushings are the same between the two cars so buy a complete kit for your 98 Civic.

But do look into hard rubber instead of urethane.
