Default drum to disc conversion

I've looked. Couldn't find anything. Does anyone know where I can find a rear wheel drum to disc conversion kit for a 95 civic dx sedan(1.5L)

Thanks!!!

I'm still looking for the same stuff for my 94 EX. Heard that Integra stuff could be used, but I'm still doing my h/w so that I wont screw up.

integra stuff works, ive done it. its pretty straightforward, just know you disconnect the e-brake cable from the handle, not the drum.

Can you give us a quick parts-needed list? I have a friend at the local junk-yard so I could probably get all the stuff before it starts snowing...

the best way to see it is go to ebay and look at the pics. on the front, you need the whole steering knuckle, from where it connects to the upper control arm ball-joint, down to where it connects to the lower control arm and tie-rod end. plus all the brakes and everything, and i'd suggest the brake lines too. for the rears, get the whole trailing arm that the disc is connected to. you need the rear LCA from your car, so it should work. along with the brake cables and lines. i think thats it. good luck. hope this helps.

honda/acura recyclers are a good place to look for parts.

Can't you just use the front rotors from the civic to convert the rear drums?
