Rotors/Conversion Dilema

Alright so I need some rotors but at the same time I want to do a 4x100 to 5 lug conversion. How much do you think it'll cost me to get parts from J/Y to convert to 5 lug? How much are some good 4/5 lug rotors go for? What are the best ones for the best price?

hubs are usually easy to find at about $50/ea used. Ive seen new ones for $120. youll need some SS calipers too, used online they are often only $20-40ea, new youre looking more like $200-275/set

Rear drums are like $80/ea

front rotors are about $150/pr or so for good ones.

If I find a junked SS, would I be able to swap out the rear brakes as well or will there be an issue since the SS rear is independent suspension (iirc)

SS isnt independent. you w\cant just take the brake though, you need the whole beam, caliper bolt directly to it. Ive got one in stock, with brakes.

I think he may have been inquiring to stay drum, but upgrade to 5 lug. What would he need to do,, to do that?

idk why you would switch to 5 lug, there are so much less wheels out there for it

I want to convert rear to disks as well. Wheels are not a concern, as long as they look decent and over 16, they'll be fine, tires are a higher priority
