Yes, they all bolt up BUT there are front LCA differences to consider.

What exactly are you tring to do?

I've installed a DC subframe in an EK before. You're going to need the DC bolts (all of them if I remember right), DC rack and pinion, DC or EG rear T bracket depending if you have a B or D series, DC LCA's, and a DC front sway bar. There are these 2 cast iron spacers bolted to the subframe. I don't remember if they need to stay or be removed. Test fit it without the rear mount or control arms so you can see if they need to come off. I don't *think* they need to come off but I may be wrong. You can also use all EG parts since they're the same as DC with the exception of manual steering. If you use a power steering subframe you can use an EG manual rack but you need to make a spacer on the bushing that wraps around the housing. If you use a manual steering subframe, you need a manual steering rack. I'm fairly certain on this part but I may be wrong since I've only ever dealt with power steering stuff.

The EK subframe is a heavy turd compared to the DC subframe. The EK subframe with a manual rack, LCA's, and front sway bar weighed a good bit more than the DC subframe with a power rack, a larger sway bar, and LCA's. I dropped it as a whole and installed it as a whole. Luckily I had a whole Integra to pick all the parts from so all I had to do was grab parts and install them. That's why some stuff is a little fuzzy. Also, it's a 1 man job but 2 people makes it a little easier.

I have a 93 VX and I want to install a front sway bar. I picked up the front crossmember with LCA's, sway bar and power rack from a 96 integra. I plan to do the DC to EK pinion swap for a quicker LTL and also convert the rack to manual.

If you put an EK pinion in the DC rack it'll slow it down, not speed it up. I just converted my rack (DB8) to manual and welded up the pinion. I did the true manual rack conversion. Oddly enough I followed a Miata write up lol Make sure you drill out the stake mark on the end cap of the rack (the one you unscrew).
