5 lug swap on a 02 ep3 questions
My friend wants to put rsx 5 lug on his ep3 and was wondering if the spindles will bolt into stock front lca's or does he need the rsx one's also?

This is only true for the 02-04 RSX. In 05+, the RSX-S used a larger taper ball joint, so if the knuckles come from an 05+ RSX-S, you will need to get the 05+ RSX-S LCA as well.
If your friend wants the base 5-lug then I believe 02-06 LCA should be fine, since they still use the smaller ball joint.
