NO!

If you do a 5 bolt conversion, where will you get the S2k spoon calipers to fit?

Stick with 4x100. With the twin block Spoon calipers, you use 11.1" rotors, which can be redrilled to 4x100. With the monoblock Spoon calipers, you use the 11.8" rootrs, which can be redrilled to 4x100. These 11.8" rotors may not fit the 5x114.3 hub.

Either application will fit any 01-05 Civic (except 04-05 Si.)

If he did the 5 lug conversion, the calipers would bolt right in. See, the 5 lug would be from a DC5, which shares the same mounting structure for the calipers and similar rotors.

Assuming the hub (and I guess knuckle?) is from a DC5. I'm not an EM2/DC5 expert

Yeah, if you wanted to go with a 5 lug setup, the whole assembly would be from a DC5 (or possibly a late model EP3, due to it's the same hub/knuckle).

The twin block calipers will not bolt up to EP3/DC5 knuckles or the EM2 knuckles for that matter. HE HAS TO USE THE MONOBLOCK CALIPERS with an EP3/DC5 knuckle! That is unless he gets some custom brackets made.

No he doesnt, who told you that?

At most, he'd need a custom rotor. However, the RSX base has VERY similar to front ITR brakes to the point that you could bolt the spoon twin block caiper on those knuckles. Whether or not you can use the stock rotor I don't know, the height may be off, but the caliper will clear the 11.1" rotor.
