didn't know '94's came w/ 1.6 litre engines. Thought they were 2.2 litres.
Anyway. if you want the v6 5th gen brakes will fit on the i4 spindles, you will need to have the v6 caliper brackets for the spacing to be correct.

you will need 15" wheels and all you have to so is swap in the V6 front brake parts. You don't need to change the MC or porporting valve even if you upgrade the rear brakes as well.

you are better off getting the V6 knuckle with all of the parts attached to it. it will bolt right up.
