yep, I use a 4-lug conversion all day long on my 98 ex
I don't know how most people say it's optional for the MC replacement after any brake upgrade, the pedal feels so low without the upgrade.
not only that but, if you don't upgrade the MC and Prop valve from the drum setup to the disc setup then you risk freezing a caliper, burning up the back brakes, warping a rotor, etc.
the valving is completely different for drum brakes versus disc brakes. Simple as that.
however, I will give a thought to the 5-lug conversion only because of this picture:
that's quite an increase in rotor size if you ask me. you will get a noticeable increase in braking with that! Not to mention you'll be able to run either s2000 or nsx rims with that lug pattern :bigok:
