strut question for those who have rsx-s 5 lug swap

so i bought my car with the rsx-s brakes and 5 lug swap, and I'm going to be ordering new struts soon, but i'm not sure if I should order civic struts or rsx-s ones? if i get civic ones, would i have to drill out the holes where the knuckle bolts up?

all you need are 03-05 civic struts, the bolt hole size in the 03-05 and 02-05 rsx are the same

besides you dont want to drill out the hole for the tie rod end. its tapered. so this drilling it would destroy it

You will need to drill out the strut bolt holes to 16mm. It isn't that hard.
