4 vs 5 bolt: Brakes?

I've got an '86 base and require calipers. I've got a set of S5 5 lug calipers lined up. I have a pretty good idea these will not be compatible. I was looking at the FSM, and they appear to be different. Any thoughts?

Search "4-to-5 lug conversion" and you'll see what's needed to do the swap. Basically, you need all of the S5 brake mounting hardware, etc. IMO, unless you drive like a maniac, it's not worth the effort/cost. The single piston calipers will get the job done very well for everyday driving.
