EM1 + 5 lug questions...
Hey all, I've got a few quick questions about this conversion.
1: ITR's have ABS iirc, the 99-00 SI does not. What is involved in the "wiring" of the ABS sensors? Is it something that can easily be changed along with the brakes, or is there more involved?
2: How much lower (roughly) will the stock 5 lug suspension be than the stock SI ride height? I ask because I'm not sure if I will have the funds to purchase new coilovers at the same time as the convo...
3: Will a Comptech sway/tie bar combo still fit with the new suspension? (Probably not I'm assuming... ) If not, the ITR sway bar will do fine I guess... 
Thanks.

Is the Si shock body compatible with a 5 lug??? I thought it all had to be changed.
Any info on the ABS??? Come on guys, I know someone knows this ****...

ABS will be a pain to install. you'll need the ABS system and run new hardlines etc etc..... its possible but i would stay away. the canadian Si's came with ABS.
as for your suspension... the springs and shocks/struts are reused from your Si. all you need are the trailing arms in the rear and this piece thats missing up front...
everything else you reuse from your car.

So let me get this straight... If I get a CTR 5 lug conversion, I can re-use my existing Si shock body/springs? That's nice, I guess I won't have to re-buy as much **** as I thought. No ABS is not a big deal... I don't care that much.
