Ek arms dont fit an eg
You get 2 types of lower arm, the eyelet type and the fork type. I really cant make out what your first post was saying but if you've bought the wrong type just put the ones that fit back on

i went ahead and put the new lca's on because i bought some oem gsr shocks and springs but now the car seems swirlie in the rear end,i dont if its because its not lowered anymore ,also the shocks and springs seem to be extremely close to the back of the brakes,when its jacked up they hit the back of the brakes

Ill take the ITR arms off of you. My rear lcas wont be of any help for you either. I need them til the new suspension gets in.

GSR suspension is no different than any other model Integra suspension. And the only different between Integra LCA's and Civic LCA's is that the Integra LCA's have mounting points for swaybars.
Just go to the junkyard and get some LCA's from any 92-95 Civic or 94-01 Integra.
And when you order suspension, order them for the Civic application. Integra springs are different.

JDM eg and an ITR have the same lower arms. These are the eyelet ones like the ones you posted
US eg and Integra use the fork lower arms. These look like this
You CANNOT interchange between the two and use the same shocks. You get shocks with eyelet bottom ends and shocks with fork bottom ends, you CANT fit eyelet shocks to fork LCAs
