Walt -
You can get the disc hubs for the front of your car (used) but if
unsprung weight is your concern, the disc conversion won't do much
because the front hubs (if you can find them) are very heavy. Also
the hub, used, will probably be very expensive anyway.
If unsprung weght is the concern, the splined + splined minilites is
probably the way to go.
