Default trailing arm swap

Long story short, I was told these spare '99 Integra LS trailing arms I have would swap right in for my '95 HB Si arms (with torn bushings). Come to find out the stampings are the same but the spindle lengths are different, of course I only find this out after everything is back on the car except for the hub. Due to the age & corrosion of the original arms, it's not going to be a good idea to swap spindles. Is my only option pulling the arms back off and just replacing the bushings on my old arms? any other ideas? I was thinking if I used Integra hubs then the brake caliper mounting bracket spacing would be off.

Any ideas?

That sux you have to do the job twice. I'd recommend using this as an opportunity to upgrade to polyurethane bushings.

Short story now long. It appears that the arms I have are Type R, not LS which is why it won't fit. There were off of an LS but evidently that car had swapped to 5 lug.
