I am debating on swapping my 4 lug ls to 5 lug. Ive never done a swap like this and was wondering how hard it would be and and price range on a project like this?? Thanks

It's not cheep and a lot of work.
It would cost about 3K because you have to swap the whole rear axle.

There is 0 reasons to swap, and plenty to not swap.
1) 4 lugs are plenty strong for this car
2) wheel selection goes to shit with 5x110 as there are 15? cars that have that bolt pattern so nobody cares to make wheels
3) if you are wanting to go with discs on the back just change out the axle, use your 4lug hubs and get correctly sized discs for the rear
4) if you want the brembo fronts go with the kit from Powell Motorsports that gives you most of the parts you need and you can still stay 4lug
5) 4x100 has a million+ different wheel selections
6) Its a lot of money for very little gain.
