the 4wd discs are vented so they can dissipate more heat
with the thicker discs you have to use wider calieprs AND carriers to clear the width of the disc
as dan says, make sure you have all the bits you need
they are a direct bolt on so all you need to do is bleed the calipers, they even use the same size pads

have this conversion on mine, u need discs & bells, alloy relocation bkts for the calipers & longer flexi hoses. a set of shims is handy to make fine adjustments to the caliper to allow it to sit centrally over the disc

huh?

they bolt on
end of story

why are you using different bits and bobs?
the hubs are the same part number, the whole hub assembly is the same, unless you are talking about bolting on a set of bigger stoppers...........then its
