OK so the 5 lug swap thread has brought me back to this thread. I don't want to convert to 5 lug, but according to that thread, the 00'-04' MPV front spindle swapped straight on to a 323 BF brakes and all.
Now I'm not totally familiar with the BF chassis, but it seems to me it should swap onto a BG as well or very close shouldn't it? I'm thinking that the ball joint shaft might be different but that would just require the correct selection of ball joint.
My research also suggests that the 01' Kia Sephia uses the same wheel bearing and should have the same splines and would be a suitable 4 lug hub for the MPV spindle.
So I'm thinking 00'-04' MPV spindle + 01' Sephia hub + Mini Cooper 276mm rotor (same diameter as MPV but with the same height/bolt pattern/height of a BG rotor) and then either a Subaru/GD caliper and bracket combo or some other caliper and adapter.
Anyone wanna check my work on this?
