Convert to T2 brakes/hubs and you can use the five lug hubs and have brakes that REALLY work.

No, you do not have to change the whole rear axle. All you need to do is pick up a couple GSL-SE axles and brakes, then have them re-drilled to the 5 on 114 bolt pattern and your are set. Oh, by the way ReSpeed has a kit.
