I know that if you drop a k20 engine into your civic, that you would be able to use the five lug from the si, or the rsx i think. As far as axles go you would have to have the k20 engine to use them I think...or you could use Si axles..

because the axels for the d17 and k20 are totally diffrent
just use the d17 inner part of the axel and the outter, use the rsx part. go to a axel builing place, they can do it there...

why do you want typeS suspension? id rather have aftermarket.. and if your doing it just for rear drums.... then get some 4 lug Si discs in rear......

idk... the only reason id ever go 5 lug is to get the TYPE R brembo kit and to do nicer wheels like work wheels
