Front shocks will fit, but they won't have any brackets to hold your brake lines.

Rears won't, w/o modifications.

I bought the Apex'i N1 coilovers for the CTR for my 92-95 hatch and besides the brake lines not being bolted on it bolt right up with little other modifications.

yes the rear shocks are thinner on the ek's so you would have to grind the insides of the rear shocks where it forks, or grind down the metal of your bushing. Not worth it to me, just get the right shocks.
