Convert rear drum to disk?
How hard is it to convert my drums in the rear into disk brakes. And do you guys know what amount of labor and price range would be?

DIY! Save some $$
I am currently working on this very project. It's really not a hard swap. I am replacing every bushing, nut, bolt and piece possible including new LCA's, New Coil overs and struts, sway bar, pads... all with the rear trailing arms from a 2000 Si.
Only Problems I had was a couple of stubborn bolts. -- Oh and if you have to remove your intake manifold, like I did, to replace the proportioning valve.. That's sucks too.
My CarDomain page (3) has a few pictures of the labor involved.

exactly how mine went too. the rest of the work is more time consuming than hard.
