OP - ek suspension will fit on an eg. If the shocks are off of an ek you can use either set of lower control arms. If the shocks are off an eg then you will need the use the rear lower control arms off an eg.

I've got eg front shocks/springs on my ek up front and found the rears did not mount up due to the mounting tabs being to short not allowing full range of motion needed in the rear.

yes ek lcas will not work in a eg.
yes you will have to grind down the bushing on eg lcas to fit a ek shock,
egs are just a little wider then ek shocks are, its been done tons of time before. your not actullaly grinding the lca down just the bushing.
