Default EG Suspension Bushings, Help

I have a 94 Ej2 with Integra GSR Brakes and sway bars and before installing my new tires (Dunlops Direzza) I want to replace my:
1- Front Upper/Lower Control arm Bushings
2- Trailing Arm Bushing
3- Rear Lower Control Arm Bushings
4- Front/Rear Shock bushings

I plan using Energy Polyurethane, But i have a couple of questions, hopefully you guys can help me out so i can order them ASAP. since i plan on dropping my motor (k20) and redo my engine bay and suspension all at once.

1- I have Blox Rear control arms ( i know they are not very good) but i was thinking on swapping the bushing that hold the shocks (only one i see damage on). Can the Energy Polyurethane bushing fit or work with the blox control arm?

2-I would like to replace the bushings on my rack and pinion (Manual) but i am not sure if the bushings are the same from Power steering and Manual rack and pinions?

I plan on doing it my self with the help of a friend and his huge press, lots of beers and some food while we at it.

Thanks

1. Why even put Blox on in the first place if you are going to replace the bushings? That's all they are good for anyhow. Just sell the Blox LCAs and replace the bushings on your OEM LCAs.

2. I don't know. The part numbers are clearly different so my first thought would be they are not interchangeable.

I figured the only bad thing about them is the bushings so why not just change th bushing and call it a day. Don't get me wrong if I had the OEM ones I will probably just use them but I don't. So I want to give the blox LCA a try with. Es bushings.

Thanks again

The passenger side bushing is only available WITH the rack for a manual steering rack
The power rack was a replaceable bushing which is why you can get it separately.

How do you figure you can use poly bushings? These things use OEM style bushings. Never seen those in poly.
