I looked at doing it myself and the guy at the local brake place said it was possible to just buy new blank discs off the shelf and have them drilled fairly cheaply, supposedly the front is that easy to do.

so i found a way to do it, using different spindles and changing the lower ball joint over

Hmmm I think a 81 yota axle would fit tits in the rear. As far as the front I'm not to sure on the 84s. But I would think same concept. Redrill upper ball joints and you might be able to use the stock mazda lower ball joints

And just use thee whole 84-95 yota spindle.

your close mate, the early lux diffs would swap over easy enough or the rear could just be re drilled which is no hassle. But ive opted to go for a series 5 or 6 RX7 full independent rear which will be used to provide me some easy camber in the rear and also eliminate articulation of the diff head through the motions of travel when using the rear bags. Up front all i had to do was swap over the lower ball joint from a lux aswell as the spindle assembly ive choosen to modify my steering to suit the front steer portion of the setup but you could just mount the spindles on opposite sides so that their wouldnt have to be any major mods for steering to work
