the rear will not fit on the lower control arms.

And I do not believe the OmniPower coilovers have adjustable damping.

Patrick is right, the Omnis aren't adjustable.

However, I think the EK shocks can be made to go on the DC/EG LCAs, but it would require you to shave a little bit of the LCA bushing off. I think the fork at the bottom of the EK shock is too narrow to fit over the LCA without a bit of shaving. You could try to test fit it and see how much you need to remove, the good news is that the fronts will bolt up perfectly.

Your friends car would probably require some washers or something to make the LCA a bit wider to fit better with your wider forks on the GSR, I don't know if I would trust washers like that over a bushing. Maybe you can swap LCAs as well, that might work.

I was just thinking about it, and the LCAs should work if you swap them, but you may run into sway bar difficulties on the Integra. I am not sure if all EK LCA had holes for the sway bar, and if it's in a different position than the Integra ones. I would take a look under both cars first and make some measurements.
