I just thought that I should let you know, that they are mostly all the same. There is one variation on 5th gen coupes that is different. The knuckle mounts the lower control arms about an inch farther apart. I don't know if this is only for the coupes, or if it was on some sedans too. It may have also just been on certain years. Just measure the distance between the lower arms. It should be about 4.5". The only reason I know this is because I picked up the odd ones at a junkyard. Luckily, I have access to a Milling Machine to take the extra inch off. Everything else was interchangeable, including the parking brake cables.

I was also, thinking back to it, and I think the subframes were identical, but spaces farther apart, therefore just swapping subframes wouldn't move the arms farther apart.
This is just speculation at this point because I wasn't looking at the subframe closely. I expected that everything would be interchangeable. I would go back and look, but it is a 2 hour drive and the car is probably crushed by now anyway.
Also, I am pretty sure it was an EX, at least it had an EX exhaust on it the suspension was all stock. That was about the only identifiable feature left though, so it could have been an LX with EX exhaust.
