you can buy those parts for a little cheaper from a parts store and junkyard, rotors are 50$ a piece and you can junkyard the axles and drums

I have a spare 8.8 with 4:10 laying in my back yard some where... But im in Maryland, so thats a little far.

As far as 5 lug conversion goes. I did my full swap for less than $250 bucks. I didn't read through all the sticky, BUT if you plan on lowering your car, I would go with the Steeda X2 ball joint. It gets rid of that stupid spacer crap, and it's a new ball joint! (Ball joint was the most expensive thing out of the WHOLE conversion.) Junk yards are your friends!!!

with this conversion or any other conversion will you have to modify the brake system?

no i dont think you will have to modify it at all, but you will be limited to what style wheels you want to put on your ride, b/c the dust cap on those rotor/hub assemblies hit the wheels or the center caps on the wheels? anyone remember this???
