The kit is like $1000 (at least it was when I did the conversion)... plus the cost of new suspension and new brake rotors if you're not able to get your existing suspension converted to the '05+ hub size, and re-drill the rotors at 5x114.3.

I ended up spending way more on the conversion than I was expecting... Tein charged me out the ass for new front uprights for the SuperRace coilovers, plus StopTech brake hats aren't cheap and the GrN style rear rotors are over $200 a pair (but they do come in both 5x100 and 5x114.3 thank god), plus I also had C&C drill out my existing rotors at the new dimensions so I'd have some spares... the fronts came out okay, but the rears didn't fit right.
