Why bother with that when they could just bolt on a set of cheap spacer adapters? They had a week to setup a jig to make the exhaust, figure out what suspension parts to use, order whatever parts they needed, etc. Searching for and finding that perfect bolt in hub isn't likely something they would have had time to deal with. Either the STI ones directly fit in the as1 hub (happy jdlm? :P ) or they just went the easy and fast route.
If I had a week I know which route I would have gone.. 1st try to bolt on STI knuckles, and once that failed, bolt on spacer adapters. They did it for a reveal, it's not like it had to be the best setup ever.
I am intriqued by a real conversaion to STI hubs simply for easier 17x8.5" wheel selection but I won't run spacer adapters to get 5x114.3 instead.
