Go to the junk yard and find a five lug. Take the hubs, rotors, and brake calipers/lines. Make sure the rear rotor is vented, if not find some that are.

I have heard people say you should put a master cylinder from a TII after you do the swap.... those people are homo. Don't listen to em save your money and keep the stock master cylinder, car will brake fine.

$50 shipped for the full conversion is a bargain. Jump on that OP.
