You have two choices.
You can swap the 5 lug spindles onto your hubs and along with them, the 5 lug rotors and 4 piston calipers. You'll need to buy new wheels as well. Also the master cylinder and brake booster needs to be swapped as well with the parts from the 4 piston car.
If you have a nice set of 4 lug wheels, you can install the 4 piston calipers onto the 4 lug hubs with a bit of fabrication:

If you already have the 4 piston calipers up front, there is no point upgrading. Just use factory parts.
