I did google it, I want to keep 4 lug and i'm willing to redrill rotors, just need to figure out which have the right offset, etc. I just need real world experiences with it. There's vague info on the BrakeExpert chart but nothing concrete. I PM'ed him and will update the thread when I hear back.
The rotor used must be a redrilled TL Type-S disc. Its unique to this car. You will need threaded inserts for the caliper body, a rotor-spacer and also likely a wheel spacer, because of the heavy offset, so you will need extended studs, longer or open wheel nuts, and the rotor spacing rings must be double beveled if you want to keep the rotor and wheel hub-centric.
I suggest against it, total cost will be MORE than an RL retrofit.
Doing it 5 lug requires removal and machining of the hub...and rotor everytime, its been done. And the TL-S knuckles are too tall, and also dont bow out enough for a DA/EF chassis, and the ball joints are too big, so youd need smaller ones as well as custom sleeves.

IT, If its a 5 lug then you would prob have to change over to spindles/hubs etc of the TL
