Is there any way to use the TII calipers without changing out the spindles? I have 4 sets of wheels, two sets with new race tires and one set of wheels and tires that is brand new. I have no itention of going back to the drawing board on wheels. I just want bigger breaks in the front. Anyone know?

I forgot that there was a four lug FC. I may have to look into this...
Can anyone post a listing of all the pieces that are necessay to buy to make this work? Trying to get an actual cost here.

I'm trying to go this route, I have the kit from respeed, but haven't been able to find junkyard calipers yet (always non-turbo cars in the yard near me), I do have the 4x114 hubs though. I'm not sure that they make a 4x114 drilled rotor that is the same diameter as the TurboII setup. I'm guessing they're different diameters as well as different offsets, so i may have to re-drill some TurboII 5-lug rotors, as i definitely want to keep my 4x114 panasports!
Anyone know about the rotor situation?

In order to use the 4 lug hubs you will use the 5 lug rotors and drill new holes.
The best practice is to use a mill and find the center of one of the lug holes. Then drill 3 more holes. This gives you the 4 lug and 5 lug pattern with one of the hole being dual purpose.
Also, the 4 lug aluminum hub has a part of it that sticks out higher (past the rotor) than the 5 lug. Your wheels will not sit down correctly. I have always used a 1/16" spacer behind the rotor to sold this.

I made a thread on how to convert too turbo II 4 pots with 4 lug hubs from the second gen. Everything you need should be in there enjoy!
Also this setup cost me about 400 bucks. I found calipers at the yard with rotors for like 20 bucks and grabbed some 4 lug hubs from guys on here. There are tons of guys selling them lol. I used the Respeed conversion kit. Billy is awesome and his produce hasn't failed me yet! Also a lot of performance parts companies will custom drill the rotors before they ship them too you so there is no worries there.
