Default The switch from Rear Drums to Disc Brakes

So I have a 99' Civic DX and it comes with the fancy rear drum brakes. I want to finally switch to disc brakes!

Now I have a few questions:
1.Could I get the parts at a junk yard and what all parts would I need?

2. If not a junk yard what's a look online, cheap link for the parts?

3. PRICE

4. Would I need any adaptors

Pretty much never did any break work, but change the pads and paint Calipers so any help would be awesome thanks!

I'd snag the complete trailing arms for the ease of it. Just remove the LCA's and reuse yours. You also need a 40/40 proportioning valve, looks the same but the insides are different. You might want to get the 15/16 brake master cylinder too.

Ebrake cables, complete trailing arms (hubs, calipers, etc), brake lines, proportioning valve, and an integra MC and booster if you want your brakes to feel good.
