They are that wide because the 92-95 Civic and 94-01 Integra both have thicker rear lower control arms.

 

So should I send them back in? orshould I try addictions method?

I'm pretty sure those actually ARE the right shocks. They only way that "92-00" shocks can exist is if you use spacers.

 

look for those washers/spacers if you opened up the boxes at home or inside the car, if not tell the shop they need to look for those washers because THEY SHOULD HAVE CAME WITH THEM! they came with mine!

they are the right shocks dont be scared... but if ya dont want to believe me then go ahead and waste more money but MOST aftermarket struts will look the same!
either you or the shop find those washers that come with the struts OR IF YOU OR THEY CANNT FIND THEM then go buy some hardened washers id guess 6-8per strut, best to have extras than not enough the sides of the strut will close up alittle when its torqued down so it doesnt have to be PERFECT..... just be sure the same ammount of washers is used on the front and the back!

 

OK.. I found the spacers!!!! Got em installed (did the right side myself)
It went pretty smooth..They look good.. I'll post some pics tommorow! Car handles like a dream!!

Thanks addiction!!

 

GOOD TO HEAR...... i was about ready to really scream at ya.LMFAO

thats just how they came, if ya go back to your instal shop smack them for me and tell them they do fit with those washers...

 

Lol I didn't smack em, but I got my money back for his so called "Labor"

Here are some after shots..
