Default 1996 Accord Hub & Rotor Swap/Upgrade

Does anyone know of a replacement/upgrade for the 96 front brake hub & rotor assembly? I would like to go with a rotor-over-hub design rather than the hub-over-rotor. I have replaced the rotors on my car a few times and it is a real pain! There has to be an even swap maybe from a different year Accord or possibly someone that offers an upgrade replacement.
Any help or information form anyone would be appreciated.

is this a recommended modification for the 94-97 models?
does it use the same brake rotors and caliper that are on my car know?
we owned a 94 wagon for a while and loved it. Now we have a '97 wagon with 73k miles and plan on owning it for a while. I had to replace the bearings on the '94 and the brake wheel set-up was a little labor intensive. Should I switch over to the rotor over hub set-up?
thanks in advance!

The rotors will be different, but the caliper is the same for the sedan/coupe. I do not know how different the wagon is compared to the sedan/coupe.

There is a thread about rotor over the hub conversion in the DIY section, where I posted my experience doing this.

I would consider doing this when you have to either replace the bearings, or replace the rotors.
