Default 5 lug conversion questions.

I did a search but didn't really find what i wanted. I drive a 2000 ex and will be purchasing a 5 lug conversion from an ITR. My question is, do i use the stock civic front LCA or the tegs to make the conversion work because i will be purchasing LCA, shock forks, sway bar, etc. from an Si to run the 26mm front sway bar and i hope this is not all a waste. Also i heard that by running the teg knuckles i will have a little bit of positive camber. This isn't anything a camber kit can't fix right? thanks in advance.

He's talking about using your stock dx/ex LCAs. You won't be able to use the sway bar if you don't upgrade to the SI LCAs...but you will still be able run the 5 lug brakes..

ok i guess, i mean cause i am running an ex and already have the stock 22mm sway bar just want to upgrade to the beefier 26mm so i didn't understand what he meant maybe he thought i had a dx or something.

You still need the Si LCAs to run the 26mm sway bar. You can't use the EX ones.
