Thanks for the reply. Is there any difference between the pieces that connect to the front subframe, the shocks, and the steering knuckles?

everything is the same in way it connects, subframes, forks, and front part of lower control arms, the back half of lcas is what differs(they are two piece), this is where the holes for the front sway bar are or aren't, I should know, i had a type R subframe and Eg subrame side to side, also another difference is that the front subframe on integra GSRs and type Rs have a reinforcement bar across the middle of the subframe,

OK. Now I just wonder what I got when I bought a set of "gsr front LCAs" and they're slightly longer than my stock EG DX bits. They mount well enough; they're just longer

Really? are you sure? i had a set of CX front LCAs and a set of type R LCAs side by side and they were identical exept for the holes on the back half of em but the fronts were exactly the same.

I'm sure of what I ordered; not sure what I got. I suspect that they may be 99-00 Si pieces

99 si pieces are easy to tell. they're 1 piece stamped steel.

These aren't stamped. I think they're from an EK. A55h0le advertised them as being from a GSR

Other than being slightly longer (subframe to ball joint is what I'm assuming length to be here), are they otherwise the same shape?

If so, that might be an interesting way to add negative camber to the front of an EG/DC...
