Shock/ Spring help

Quick question. I bought tokico shocks (blue) with Tein shocks a while back for my Integra. I ended getting rid of the Teg, and picking up a 96 Civic Hatch. The Spring set up came off a 94-01 Type R. What would I need to put this set up on the Civic? Any info would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Everything will bolt right up, mines the rear shocks.

However, there is a slight trick I use to make the shocks bolt up.. I'm not a huge fan of doing it though, but the use of washers goes a long way.

Will Aftermarket control arms be needed? What about a camber kit? It's going to be about a 1.5in drop.

Ok, hardly makes sense, so...you got tokico shocks with tein springs?

If so, front will mount up without a glitch, backs, as chris said use washers on each side of the bushing of the lower control arm to eliminate the play. Moreover, no need for lcas but most likely bushings are gone and those bolts tend to snap

...and instead of buying a camber kit, just google "rear upper control arm washer trick". That should help correct excessive rear negative camber at a minimal cost.

Or ignore the camber issue and enjoy traction issues in the rain.

Btw camber isn't too bad with s-tech springs. Had it, never had any tire wear issues.
