Default Rear Disc Brakes

I want to replace the drum brakes on my 2002 Honda Civic LX with disc. When I got the Civic, I found some kits to convert the brakes but I wanted to wait. Now that I am looking to buy, I cannot find a kit. I asked some custom stores in Nashville, TN area and no one was able to help.

Does anyone know were I can get a conversion kit? How much does a kit cost?

Thanks.

The Si rear discs off an 02' should work, no? Just find a set at a junk yard or buy them new.

I've seen new disc brake conversions from AEM i believe and they run about 1500. I've seen others that are 1000. You could pull them off another car like Polo said or you can buy a conversion.

Do you know if any of those kits work on an 94 LX Sedan? And do they retain the e-brake as well?

I was thinking that if was going to buy a rear disk conversion, i'd rather spend like an extra $500 if i could get like an AEM or BAER big brake set up. I saw teh AEM conversion, i think it was a big brake kit but i wasn't sure.
