Question regarding lowering an EK

I'm looking into lowering my 99 Si...

I now have a few concerns.. I was told I may need to replace some bolts and bushings depending on whether or not they're rusted or seized up..

Now my question is regarding the bushings... I called Parkway Honda, and they told me that for my car, I couldnt just buy the bushing (the one that connects to the subframe) separate from the rear LCA.. they told me I'd have to buy the entire LCA instead..
For previous gens, I was told that the bushings can be bought separately...

So I'm just wondering if others with EK's have had this dilemma?

when I did mine I ran into the problem of the right rear bolt head breaking off so after drilling the bolt out I went to buy a replacement bushing but found you had to buy the whole rear LCA to replace it. With the TCC discount it came out to pretty cheap and it was good to have a brand spanking new rear LCA in the car. If I come across some $$ i might look into getting a left lca and maybe even some new rear trailing arms.
