suspension k20 swap question

is there any legitimate advantage of doing the 5 bolt swap when going k20, or is it mostly for the fact that you've done it? I am looking at the motor swap in approximately 10 months, but don't really want to dish out for the 5 bolt, plus I just got 4 bolt rims for a good deal. My plan was koni yellows with my existing tenzor springs and a rear camber kit. This should hold up right? Opinions? Thanks

Only advantage would be that there are more wheel sizes avalible in 5 lugh.. (Like 15X7.5's )

Not so much. You'd be surprised how cranky ITR guys are about no cheap 15x7 or 7.5s with 5x114.3
Anything Volk makes can be custom made with any bolt pattern known to man though.

Plan on the front dropping some more though... talk with hawk about swap suspensions, You're going to need to raise the front spring rate about 50 lbs.
