Literally just decided to go that same way yesterday and paid for the necessary bits today :)

You need 5th gen front knuckles with hubs (Not Type-S) and rear hubs. You'll need to uses washers of a particular size (I don't know what size yet) to space out the front hub nuts so they tighten up properly as well.

Then just swap everything over ;-)

why not just upgrade the whole car to a 5th gen? There were many many other improvements made over the 4th, not just the hubs....




:P

First one to do it gets the honour of doing a write up with pics ;-)

And no, it's just a washer that goes over the spline before the hub nut is tightened so as the hub nut doesn't run out of thread. As said though, I'm unsure of the size, but apparently it's not an off-the-shelf-washer, so need to be made up.

And LLL... :yawn:
