1. get an gsr brake set-up (a full brake swap, front & rear).
2. buy all new 00-01 type r hubs.
3. new studs
4. type r caliper bracket
5. type r caliper
6. type r rotors
7. type r pads
8. type r master brake cylinder
9. type r brake booster
10. since you'll be changing all this out you might as well go with steel braided lines.

if you want to save some money doing this, go to you local parts store(not dealer) and buy them aftermarket, or you can try junk yards/ebay for used oem ones.

In reality, you just need the knuckle from a civic ex/si/abs del sol vtec, or integra 94+

yes, technically, but how hard is it just to find the knuckles and trailing arm. when sold, brakes are usually attached.

to re-drill the rotors you first will need large rotors(thus serves the purpose of re-drilling). then you need to replace the caliper bracket, caliper and pads.

in my opinion, you might as well just finish it off and get the 5 lugs. one i like them better, and two they add alittle more wheel security(not from theft).
