Default replacing oem Front LCA bushing on ek's

I was going to my local alignment work the other day, and the guy says that I need to replace my front LCA bushings. I asked him the costs and he told me that HONDA doesn't sell replacement LCA bushings for EK's. Is this true?
If not do you guys have the part #? I've tried to search on online parts stores and don't see any oem bushings for eks. They are offered on eg's though.

ek



eg

i need to replace part# 7 & 12 in the eg pic.

That is the front suspension..... are you talking about the rear suspension? On EKs, only the rear bolts directly into the control arm.

Edit:



Part 13 in that pic

god of gamblers

I am refering to the front lower control arm. The shop told me that honda OEM bushings can't handle the stress from my Eibach Sportline springs. I said how much, and he says that he has to order the whole fricking front LCA I'm like WHAT??? I see that honda has replacements for EG"s but why not EK"S???
Money is an issue here

What? I guarantee you that most everyone on this forum is running the stock bushing in that location.

yeah man. I thought stock bushings were fine. My car is only lowered 1.75 inches.
