Default Suspension Swap

I own a '95 Accord, and to change rotors (mine are warped and shot) I have to do way more crap then I want to deal with. Now my question is there a swap I can do that goes from caged rotors to normal? Like any non 5 lug swap... maybe an older or newer Accord suspension? Thanks for any help given.

read this https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=508056 that's for 4 gen, you're a 5 gen in case you didn't knew, but i think is pretty much the same, can anyone comment on this?

BTW run a search, is not that hard

5th gens will most likely work just fine. I have the CL hubs pounded onto 5th gen bearings. Haven't got around to finding an axle socket and a torque wrench that goes up to 181 ft-lb yet, so i havent put them on my 5th gen yet.

This has been grotesquely uninformative. Let's put it at the top for one more go round, shall we?

Maybe the question hasn't been clear enough: my friend has a 5th gen accord with the Honda OEM caged rotors. He wants to know if newer accord suspension, or any four lug suspension, will bolt on in place of the caged rotors. If it's possible, let us know. If it's been done before, let us know. We're not looking for performance, we're looking for easier brakes and suspension to work with.

isn't that what the link above all about? swapping the pressed in 5th gen accord hub with the regular 1998+ CL hub?

The link above is the answer to my sweat , I've been wondering about this, it's pain in the butt changing rotor on 5th gen accord. I'd definitely do this next time I have extra time and funds

ps: remember to support your axle when you take off the knuckle from the axle, otherwise, you'll break the axle
