Is swapping from 1 piston calipers to 4 piston calipers hard? What all is needed to swap them?

Not really hard. You need the 5 lug hub, caliper, caliper bracket, brake hose, and 5 lug wheels. This is probably all covered in the archive.

Just wondering for rims. And if you do swap from 5 to 4 lug, do you need to switch all the brake components or can you just swap the hubs?

So there is no way to get better calipers and keep it 4 lug? B/c i just bought new rims and tires for four lug, but i want better brakes.

Aftermarket. You can't put the stock four pistons on your car without putting the rotors that go with them on. And you can't put a 4 lug rotor on a 5 lug hub. I would just go aftermarket, or sell the wheels and tires and get 5 lugs.
