Hey BOXCAR,

I don't think that anything of any X serise car fits regarding suspention.
I know that there was a brake upgrade that was dropped due to it being able to lock on without warning.
The reason is that the suspention on the corty has nothing in common with the falcon stuff.

The cheapest way is to ethier get a hopper stoppers kit or get some blank rotors and get some one to drill them as a 5 stud.
But i think that you will need a spindal mod to fit the rotor as i don't think you can get blank cortina rotors.

you could always use a hub adaptor! its like anyother adaptor eg pre au adaptor, but instead of being the same pcd on both sides the other is different ie 4x108 on other side 5x114.3
