Man if you already have a nice set of rims, just keep it 4lug. Besides for some added strength theres no difference. Front brakes do almost all the work, and you have front discs. Personally its an extra 700-800bucks you can add somewhere else.

Lincoln mk7 front rotors and 5 lug axles in back, you can swap the SN95 rear brakes and axles. Should be able to do it for under $500, not including wheels.

I used 90 lincoln mk7 rotors, and ranger rear axles out back, cost me 100 bucks at the junk yard for the axles, and I got the rotors new at autozone for 42 each...add some gear oil, friction modifier, and rtv.....that is the cheap.
