Putting 96-00 Ek Civic Rear shocks on Civic or integra Rear Lca's..have any of you done it?

Well, I got these rear shocks from a friend and of course some of you may know..that the Ek bushing is alot thinner then the integra or civic rear LCA bushing.
Anyhow..what I am questioning is..how did you do this..and if I grind down that bushing..will it effect anything?

Thanks for any info you can provide

I had that done on my civic, I used polyurethane replacements for the 92 and just shaved them down before popping them in. No problems, my suspension feels good.

if your using the ek shocks on eg you would have to grind them down... i did it for my friend.... it's sort of ghetto but it doesn't seem like anything bad will happen
