If both are 4-bolt, the rears should work. The fronts won't unless you change knuckles.

so i should be able to pull the knuckle from the upper and lower control arms and drop it into mine? If so that would be sweet if so.

90-97 and 98-02 cars are different.
Rear suspension is completely different. Front suspension is similar but uses a different front bearing design.
Easier to find a 94-97 EX model that already has discs that uses the proper knuckle/trailing arm suspension and parking brake cables.
90-93 EX with rear discs are similar rear suspension as the 94-97s.
IMO if your car does not have a rear sway bar, locate a 90-97 that has rear discs and sway bar, then remove the rear crossmember so you can also have a rear swaybar.
