Easy, just use the dc2 vtir or ek4 front and rear brake setup. If the car already has disks at the rear, just use the front setup from any ek or dc2 (non type r) to keep the 4x100 stud pattern. This will give you the 262mm setup up front instead of the stock 240mm setup

So he will also need to change out his handbrake cables and get the rear hubs as well.

Another alternative to go a step further is DC2 front hubs with re-drilled Prelude 282mm discs and prelude calipers.

Calipers need slight milling, nothing major and the disc just need to be re-drilled.
