Default shocks, camber kit??

the guy from truehonda.com said i have to drill a 14mm hole, so the shocks could fit through, there tokico shocks. and on my camber kit i had to drill out a 16mm hole. is this true and is it possible to do that or will something mess up? im thinking of installing everthing myself then geting an alinment after. oh yea my camber fit is spc.

oh yea sorry but can some know where i could find a diy for replacing the shocks and springs, my only worry is the spring poping out and flying in my face....if its even possible???

im not sure about the camber kit but yes you do have to drill your front knucke bolts from 14mm to 16mm. 03+ civics have 16mm bolts in the front shocks. I've heard you can buy the front ep3 struts because they are 16mm. I have an 05 and i bought tokico blues. I took it to a shop had then drilled out and installed. IMO have a shop do it to be safe.
