The first question I would ask is WHY? It's a hell of a lot of effort to go to, and I can't really see the point on an AE86. Having said that, it's far from impossible if you don't mind mix'n'matching from the Toyota parts bin.
Shortened MX83 Cressida struts would be a good start for the front end, but you'd probably have to do something funky with the lower control arms to get the camber right. You'll also need to convert to coilovers as the Cressida springs probably won't fit inside the strut towers. This will give you 5-stud hubs with the bonus of fairly large brakes, and easy brake upgrade options if you want to get carried away.
As for the rear, a Hilux axle swap would be the way to go; you get an indestructible G series diff (LSD's are easy to come by), huge drum brakes, and all 2WD versions are 5-stud.
