I think yours is a non UFO car.  If that is the case, I believe that you can
do a straight caliper/rotor swap.  Go to Ron's Parts, 604-944-0494.  It will
set you back about $800.  If it is a UFO car then you will need that kit +
one of two other options,  A 5000Q conversion kit which includes axels,
struts, control arms and I think that it it.  This will add another $800 or
so to the cost.  The other option is to go with S4 hubs.  I don't know as
much about this route as I did not research it becuase of cost limitations. 
You are looking at another $1200 or so on top of the brakes.  John Karasaki,
Greg Johnson and one other Greg know more about this route then I do.  You
might get in contact with them.  I would however be happy to give you more
info on exactly what was done if you have more questions.


HTH some, Shayne.
