Those are quite likely eBay-sourced generic "Adjustable Upper Control Arms"...just unbranded junk. Search eBay for "Civic Upper Control Arms" and watch the screen flood with them, there are also bound to be results for just the ball joints associated with them. However, please do yourself a favor and source some OEM upper control arms and some decent ball joints to go with them, it'll work out better for you in the end that way.

The OEM upper control arm (UCA) doesn't have the ball joints separately. You buy them as a set, control arm and ball joint.
If you do decide to try and source ball joints for those after market UCA's, be sure the adjusting bolts are adjustable/tightened from the underside and not the top like most crap-bay setups.
It should be more like this:

Note how the tightening bolts are on the underside of the UCA. This is critical for ease of actual adjustment.

Re: What are these? - Aftermarket UCA's
Lol when my trusty old Megan’s wear out, I may get me some of these bad boys. I got the Megan Racing ones originally because I wasn’t 100% I’d need them for the lowered-ness of the front due to the springs and extra engine weight and didn’t want to get “the best” and waste money if they weren’t needed and was scared to go el cheapo eBay.
