Default DC front LCA on an EK?

I've been researching for the past 3 days but can't find a clear answer. I have what seem to be DC integra front LCA with energy suspension bushings. I am trying to rebuild the suspension on a budget otherwise I'd just buy new ones. If I buy integra shock forks will these LCA fit on my 99 dx? Also, will an EX front swaybar fit on the LCA with what endlinks? Thanks

Do you know why they won't? From some research I've been doing all the dimensions match up besides the shock mount width. I figured if you get a dc shock mount it would bolt up fine.

The compliance bushing mounting is totally different... if you swap out the rear "K-Member" along with the LCA's, then you can do it.

I received these front lca with the car in a box that read "Fronts 94 integra ls" in the box it also had a set of integra calipers so the writing might be referring to that. I haven't been able to find a for sure way to identify if these are integra or civic lca so I just assumed they were integra. But now looking at the compliance bushing they appear to have civic style compliance bushings. Any way you know of to tell which ones they are? The only marking on them is "(right side) RA FF 18 L10, (left)LA FF 20 L10" I also have more pictures of measurements. Thanks for all the help btw.

I just realized energy suspension has part numbers on their bushings and my compliance bushings # is the one for their EK set, so I am pretty sure these are the right control arms. Thanks again for the help.

Those appear to be non-Si EK LCA's... so they should work fine on your EK chassis.
