Yes, they'll fit, but you'll need spacers for the rear shock forks since the LCA bushing is shorter than the '92 - '95 civics.

By spacers you mean like between the fork and up against the lca bushing?? Just clarifying before a purchase is made

Yes. Most people just use washers.

^ I think you got mixed up.

If he's putting the 92-95 shocks on the 96-00 he'll need spacers/washers.
96-00 shocks to 92-95 will either require the 96-00 shock mount bushings, or shaving the bushing down.

92-95 bushing/fork is wider then 96-00.

You'll need the bushing or to shave the bushing down.
