They're just a hair longer (1/16") then the ef arms but they work,and give you added camber..

front or rear?

fronts are different, not compatible.

rears, should actually be the same. not 1/16" longer. ive checked by putting bolts simultaneously through each bushing. but it could be off, 1/16" aint that big difference anyway.

i just got my NEW OEM rear LCA with fresh new bushings... im drooling over em.. lol. i only paid $130 shipped. hondapartsdeals.com with $10 discount.

i should be getting my front LCA with a new inner bushing pressed in back today. im gonna use ES poly for the bottom shock bushing. (one of only a few places i recommend using poly)

got a whole set of ITR top mount bushings. stiffer than stock.

just need to get my new rear upper control arm bushings pressed in...

complete new bushings!

And YES the EG and EF rear LCA's are the same length.
