Re: dics vs drums 92 eg (verycleanhatch)
Depends, some people like to have drums in the rear (like me) so they can pull on the ebrake and completely lock the rear wheels...
90% of the braking is done up front anyways, I personally do not see a benefit to converting to rear disc... Spend your money else where... Like on an Integra Front brake upgrade with Brembo blanks and Axxis Ultimates..

To put integra units you need the whole knuckle, hub assembly, and caliper... You also need the Rotors and pads but I suggest buying new ones.... Remember what car you got the brakes from though (for ordering the other stuff)... ORRRR if thats out of your budget and all you have to replace are your stock rotors and pads then do it... Buy some Brembo blanks, some Axxis Ultimates pads, stainless steel braided brake lines, and maybe change you brake fluid... <--- that would be a decent upgrade to stock, you dont need tooo much braking power unless your doing soome autoXing or something similar...
as for what kind of brake fluid... search brake fluid on the top right hand corner of the screen.... and you can get good prices on the other stuff from the sponsors here... I think http://www.importreplacementparts.com has all of that stuff...

do not get slotted/cross drilled. They only reduce the surface area of the disk and shorten the life of the pads. Get blanks, you will be much happier. Formula 1 uses blanks, i think that should say it all.

Re: dics vs drums 92 eg
Stick with the drums on the rear. unless you will be running autoX or any track days...you really dont need rear discs.
Like others have said build the front brakes.

I just replaced mine because I hate drums all together. I hate that stupid squeak they sometimes get and they are a Pain in the *** to replace! Plus I got the rear discs cheap too!
