Default 2000 Civic SI Front lower control arms

I got a subframe from the junk yard to replace the one in the car because it seems like it was damaged (welded nut inside had come loose and it can't be aligned). I am thinking the control arm is bent also. It seems the SI model needs different control arms so I can't just get those off the regular civics at the junk yard. It would be nice to have all new bushings so I was looking to get new control arms.

Does anyone have any good suggestions of which control arms to get and from where? I'm not sure if there are any I should avoid and I'm confused by what the difference is for the SI version. Rockauto has "Ultra Power" ones that show EX; GX; LX; SI which makes little sense to me because other ones that are supposedly for SI models don't show any other models. I'd rather not waste time to shipping parts back and forth and would like to get the right stuff on the first try.

A couple of the brands I have seen say "Without sway bar mounting holes" which worries me as I want to be able to put my sway bar back on.

Thanks.

I just put the hardrace in my EM1. They’re great quality. The difference is the EM1/Ctr are a 1 piece stamped steel where the other models are a 2 piece cast. You can go to the two piece ones but the mounts for end links for the sway bar are different. The other thing is the EM1/Ctr use a different fork for the shocks, it’s quite a bit wider.
