Default Are They Compatible?

Finally pulling the trigger for the 5 lug conversion on my 03 EP from an RSX Base. Just wanted to figure out if the EP calipers would mount properly on the RSX knuckles/spindles. I know that they have different calipers when I looked them up, but there's not really much difference from what I've seen other than the bleeder screws are in different locations and the contact areas for the pads are shaped a little different. Just don't want to spend the extra money if I don't have to.

The knuckles are compatible, the wheel bearing and hubs were a different size which tripped me out. Still on lowering springs but the fitment is still good from when I had my 4 lug 17x7 with 1inch spacers. The fitment was almost exactly the same.
