Front Rotor Swap on a 99

I see where on the 2000+ 2nd gens can be upgraded to 3 gen breaks. My question is can you put a roto off the 2000+ on a 99 that has the rotor on the back of the hub? I really am not up for pulling the hub everytime I need to change the rotors. Thanks.

my 2002 rotors pull off the front of the hub. Maybe you can use the 2002 bearing assembley and the 2002 rotor.

I do not believe you can change the 99 to a 2000 type, as your Ball joints hook to the axel differently than the 00 do and your caliper mounting brackets are fixed to the spindle and cannot be unbolted (I think)

Here is one thread, I cant find the other that goes into detail about the differences between the 2 types of brake set-ups

Thanks for the info. Think I will just go pay some one. Guess I could go buy a 200 rotor and see what I can engineer or screw up but finding time for that will take a while.
