You need to make caliper mounting brackets, redrill the rotors for 4 lug and make a spacer to go between the rotor and the hub. So the answer is, you need to change everything.

CP Racing had a kit that allowed the 2nd gen hud to bolt to the GSL-SE hub, with a bracket for the four piston caliper. I bought that kit and modified it to use 93 rotors and calipers.

GSL-SE's already have the same bolt pattern and brakes as the 4 lug 2nd gens, but if you want to change over to the 2nd gen alum hubs or change to the 5 lug, 4 piston calipers and larger rotors then RE Speed ( http://www.mrcmfg.com/catalog/ ) has the kits for doing fronts, rears, as well as change over axles for the 5-lug conversion... plus other upgrades...
