How easy/expensive is the 5 lug upgrade

with independent suspensions, from an FC3S I suppose.

mainly curious on:
what would I want new, what can I find used?

My plan: buy an FC3S with no motor, take the suspension, return to scrapyard. ()

Realistically, I need new bushings probably aftermarket coilovers, maybe slotted rotor disc?

Street use mainly.
edit: not planning to slam my ride... I don't want to worry about scratching my belly.

I got my 5 lug swap for 200.
Then again I went and changed the pads,went to slotted rotors,etc and made sure that everything was ok to safely run.(in my eyes).
Silly me..,but I like brakes.
You can get away with just a swap if everything looks good and doesn't have any excessively rusty rotors,worn pads,leaking calipers,etc.
It just depends on who you get it off of,how much you want to spend and what parts you want to upgrade.

I wish I had 4 lug so I could get some banana sport rims. Much better selection of retro 80's wheels in 4-lug.
