Default coilovers wont work with lca's

Hi i have a 92 civic hatch ive been wanting to instal a swaybar on i have been researching about everything ill need so i could instal with no problems. I have lca's from an integra type r and a factory gsr swaybar. Today i tryed to put the lca's on and at the bottem where the coilover meets the lca is different my factory lca bolted in between the the bottem of the coilover and with the new lca's it looks as if the coilover bolts to the inside of the lca.
what am i missing am i gona have to buy new coilovers with male ends to make this work? I thought thats all i had to get and should my swaybar bolt right up,the bar has links on the end that move up and down are those concidered my endlinks or do i still have to buy those?
thanks for any help.

To use the ITR rear lower control arm you WILL need ITR rear shocks. Regular shocks will not work.
You should have got regaular dc lower contorl arms.

Would it be a good idea o just order a pairof blox lca's would it be alot more work to make the swaybar connect to that and what extras would i have to order to make it all work.

Everything 98civdx said is true

Do note that with F7 LCAs you'll need aftermarket endlinks.
