Default ITR 5 Lug Swap

I want to swap the 5 lug set up over to my car and I have a few questions.

Is it all bolt up?
Do the swaps normally have ITR rims?

This last one is important, I have some 92 Civic Suspension stuff at home already (springs and camber kits) can I use this on the ITR suspension?

Front suspension should work but rear will not.

But.... why?

How do I get the rear to work?

This is how I'm looking at it. Rims, tires, bigger brakes then stock and disc in the rear for $1500. That's a wicked price.

Rear you will need ITR suspension parts.

Ok. So can I run ITR springs (coil overs actually) and shocks all the way around?

Yep. Just be aware that advertised ride height will not be anywhere close to what you will see.

What do you mean? I'll be lower or higher?

Also shouldn't the itr 5 lug swap come with stock springs and shocks?

Its not like the swap is some package you buy, its whatever someone is selling. The type r rear lower control arms are different and thus you must use different shocks in back.

Question: Possible to use civic/integra non type R rear lcas and run different shocks. I hear peopel running type R lcas on non five lug cars, so I figure it would work.

Also why the five lug. Better stopping can be had for cheaper on 4 lugs. Plus you dont need new wheels shocks etc.
