Default Brake Conversion

Can someone hook me up with a link or two, and a general idea on how to convert a 94 civic ex back brakes from drum to pad?
Appreciate it.

get complete rear disc brake rear trailing arms, rear disc brake flexible brake lines, proportioning valve, larger master cylinder(not nessersary but good to get). and i think you need the parking brake cables from the rear disc car also

then install it all

Don't listen to him...if you just want simple rear brakes for cheap, it can be had for as little as $300 if you shop around....plus your labor is free:-D

Its pretty much a no-brainer to do but it is a lot of hard wrenching if your car is rusty. To give you an idea, with new clean, loose parts I could do it in a half hour, but when I did it on my 95 it took me about 8 hours.

Awesome. I appreciate all the advice on it. Dont want to sound annoying asking the same questions over and over again but would you know any links that seel the parts I would need?
Also what donor car should I take the set up off of? (ive heard tegs and del sols but out of the two, which would you prefer. Or if there is a better third choice, Ide listen)
