Default EP3 Function 7 Rear Lower Control Arm Bolts

So here's the deal. I bought a pair of these suckers several months ago. They're different than the RSX versions; the RSX versions have an indent over where all three of the holes are on the one side. On the pair I got, there is an indent in the arm around each of those holes individually. I also got six six-sided bolts with the LCAs. However, the bolts' heads do not fit into these recesses (they would work with RSX LCAs, and from pics, it looks like they are the same bolts people are using who do not reuse the stock bolts).

F7 is not returning a message I left over a week ago, and they are not answering their phone either. I know they're usually pretty awful about that, but didn't think it would be this bad. I haven't found anyone with an EP3 who has their LCAs yet, which is why I'm asking here. If there is anyone here who has their LCAs on their EP3, please respond here and let me know. I don't really want to find out that the OEM bolts don't fit, or just as bad, that my 14-year-old bolts (which I'd really prefer to replace) are stripped or otherwise useless while my car is up in the air, expecting some pretty replacement LCA blinginess.

Also, I have a thread here on the OEM bolts, and it looks like that person is 100% correct in that I cannot just buy the OEM bolts separately; they would come with the whole trailing arm "kit", and at $221 a side at Majestic (ignoring the $25 dumbass "handling" fee for the moment), that's a ton of money for some bolts and other junk I don't need (though the car is old enough that it probably wouldn't kill me to replace everything).

TIA

I have EP3, as I know they bolts pattern and order are different from the RSX.

I didn't really get what you want to check (P.S if you going to sell them maybe I am interested).

Thanks.
