1987 FC 4 to 5 lug conversion

I currently have my Rx7 sitting on some stands with the wheels off ready for some brake upgrades. I was planning on swapping my front calipers with some of the 4 piston calipers from a TII or an FD, then I learned that to do the the swap I would need to convert to 5 lugs or get some 5 lug rotors machined to fit 4 lugs. I was going to do a 5 lug swap eventually so I guess eventually will be now. My question is can I use my current spindles with the 5 lug hubs or will I need to use the TII spindles as well?

Spindles are the same, the difference is in the rotor and hub assembly, and bracket for caliper.

Thanks for the confirmation, now to just get ahold of some TII hubs and calipers.
