Default ep3 vs rsx rear control arms?

A friend of mine crashed his ep3, it needs a rear control arm , I am looking to see if an rsx base control arm is the same due to the millions that are available.
- He also has upgraded aluminum control arm things, totally busted, any idea who, where I can get a set of stock ones?

It needs a trailing arm on the pass side and these guys

Ummm...dealership parts counter?

And do you need the rear trailing arm or the rear upper control arm? Because RSX/EP3 have different trailing arms.

Im not getting the parts from a dealer boss, getting them from a salvage yard.

dc5 arms are different, the bolt patter of the 3 10 point bolt is different...the whole lca needs to be replaced anyway....online used car parts sites might help.
