not really easy but here is what you would have to do.


find a hub that was 4x100 and had the right hole size (the big hole on the hub that your rotor acutally centers its self on). then purchase an arm that will accept 10.3" rotor/caliper or 11.1" rotor/ caliper set up, (there the same and these two parts MIGHT be able to be purcahsed together. ( you could use 99-00 si, 94-00 integra any model, ect).

then buy yourself a set of DC5 rotor's (or ones that are the same size in 4x100 patteren, but to my knowledge there are no direct fits for this). if you go the DC5 rotor rute then you need to re-drill a 4x100 bolt patteren into the DC5 rotor. (i don't like this idea and think its really not safe to do).

oo ya isn't the DC5 rotor 11.1" ????

the caliper directly correrlates to the rotor, remeber that when trying to figure out brake up grades.

4x100 REALLY lacks in the stock brake department. 4x114.3 or 5x114.3 are the best lug patterns for stock big brakes.
