The bushings are pressed into the lower control arm, not the shock. The most professional way is of course to swap bushings to the 92-95 size (I think you can do that).

The easiest and still just as safe way is to use washers to fill in the gap between the EG shock bracket and the EK narrow bushing.

Both ways will work the same, it's just that one way might make you feel like it is more professionally done.
