All the classic imports (except the wagons) have the alloy wishbones.
One would pressume you could use any JDM (not wagon) wishbone from 1992 upto 2000MY.

only STIs have alloy wishbones unless they've been fitted later. They're apparently mainly for bling, being no lighter. They're interchangable with the steel ones though.

I've actually got a solitary drivers side one somewhere - PM me if interested!
