Is it possible to swap s13 front lca to y33 q45 ones? I know the ball joints are different but i heard the q45 ones are an inch longer than s13 ones.

Y33 control arm will bolt right too the crossmemeber, You will have to weld an S14 ball joint in otherwise the diameter is slightly too small to just be pressed in. The only issue you might have is the sway bar end link mounting point. Tension Rod mounting points line right up if i remember correctly.

They cost more than modified S13 LCA, you'd need to drill a new hole for the sway bar. They are longer, but it really ends up being easier and cheaper to get an extended s13 one made or do it yourself.

The bolt that goes to the crossmember might actually be 2mm larger as well, meaning you might have to drill out your subframe to mount it.
