Rear disc conversion help???
I just purchased a '93 civic 4dr 5spd....and well it dose need some work but I am looking into upgradeing the brakes and suspension first....
The one thing i have been looking into is a drum to disc brake conversion but i havent found a kit for the car.....so I am wondering a couple things...
-What is the cheapest way to go about doing this??
-What parts are needed if i did not buy a kit??
-On a scale of 1-5 5 being hardest....how hard would it be for a driveway mechanic to do this conversion??
-Would it just be better if i held off on the conversion and just drove it with the drums....
-If anyone has well any kind of pictures or directions on how to do this or know a link please post it thank you

RE: Rear disc conversion help???
just get all the stuff off of a 94-01 integra. shouldnt run you more than 400 bucks.
roter, hub, caliper, master cylinder, spindle, all the hardware to put it together
probably a 3 just because pulling everything apart is a bitch. but its pretty straightforeward.
it depends on what youre doing. if its just your DD then save your money..but if you're looking at autoxing it or whatever it'd be a suitable change. also, if you get aftermarket wheels, discs look so much better than drums.
edit: oh yeah...pick up some braided steel brake lines while you're at it.
