Default USDM ITR 5 LUG on 00 EK problem

ok here's the deal i just picked up 5 lug and installed it over the weekend. But i came a cross 2 problems. 1) When i finished up the conversion i test drove the car and the rear sway's. I jacked up the car checked every bolt and nut, to see that it's not loose, i then drove it again and the same thing happen. I have the stock Gunmetal ITR rims, EK LCA's, camber upper mid arm. Will any of these parts be the cause to the sway. I also noticed that 3 out of the 4 tires sit straight and one in the rear has heavy camber. 2) After leaving the car on jack stands for a week or so, with the break lines open. All the brake fluid, DOT 3, drainned out. OBVIOUSLY. Well i bleed my brakes but everytime i did it, i turn the car on and they will sink. So then i had the car running while i blead the brakes and this time they where stiff a bit, but not really acceptable. My plan of action for problem 1) is take it to get the camber and alignment done, but before i do that i want to make sure what is going on.
What is going on here with these problems.............helpful input will be appreciated..

maybe your bushings are loose and warned out mabye? as for the breaks, you just gotta bleed them for a while, theirs a sequence you follow as well. check your helms manual for bleeding sequence

You should have had it aligned after the install.

You use the Civic LCA's. ITR's won't work.

Brake lines you should have bled them as normal. You are probably full of air and it will take some hours of bleeding to get it out.
