As far as I know, the FC hubs will fit the FB hubs, also you could machine down the FB hubs and use a bell hat and disc combo from AP or Willwood. You would need to have a bracket fabricated to mount the calipers. All do-able, depending on your mechanical skills. A straight "bolt on" option will be pricey as you are paying for the know-how on the machining, discs size, brackets etc.
Unless you are racing, perhaps Black Diamond discs and Hawk pads would be a cheaper option ?

I think you mean the FC hub will fit the FB spindle. The S3 has a bigger spindle and bearings than the S1 and S2. So, it won't fit them all. I don't know if it fits or not. Never tried it. But you would then have changed your number of studs and may be your PCD (4x110 on S1 and S2) so new wheels required either way.
I have a template for the bracket to mount an FC/FD caliper on an RX2. Slight mods for an RX3. You work out your spindle diameter and mounting stud PCD. Then, fit an FC caliper over the top of your FB hubs (might be some machining required). Just redrill the FC discs to your PCD. Then set the offset for your application.

Yep, that's what I meant 'bout the hub and spindle.....
What you showed, in far more graphic terms than I could muster, is what I was blathering on about !
i.e. It needs a bit of engineering to fit, and there are a number of ways and combinations, depending on which pcd etc you want/need.

Did you see the thread about the FC vert I was breaking?
I bumped it for the last 3 weeks and threw a set away on Tuesday.
