What spacers change the fact that they are significantly different lengths?

Spacers are for the shock bushing, ek is roughly 10mm thinner than eg/dc. It has nothing to do with the length of the lca in this case.

Side note 99-00 SI front forks are wider as well since they use a tubular lower control arm.

width, not length.

From what I recall, when I bought my Progress coilovers, it came with 4 spacers for the rear LCA. If you have a '96-00 Civic, you will need to use them because the LCA is not as thick as the 92-95 Civic's. Spacers are for the lower portion of the damper to the LCA.
