4 wheel disc

Post by agreatguy »

Has anyone ever converted the rear drum brakes into disc? What would be involved in that?

You can take the back discs from a GS. Here is link to Vaughn Nishimura's page that has the parts that can be switched from the V6 to the 4cyl. (among them is the 4 wheel disc conversion idea): <A HREF="http://members.attcanada.ca/~dragon64/junk.html" TARGET=_blank>GS to RS Page</A><BR>From what I understand its almost not worth doing, but that's what everyone says about this mod.(i.e. civics, eclipses, etc.)
