Are the front disc brakes bigger on the new Si's than on a 98 EX? I ask because a friend wants $700 to convert my 98ex drums to that of an Si. I'm not positive if he means the front ones too BUT now i'm thinking if te front is the same on both models if he could put the front discs on my rear! muhahah then I'd have more braking power than any OEM SI! Lemme know and thanks in advance guys!

I think to do that, you would have to play with caliper placement. The offset is probably a bit off, not to mention the mounting points. A homemade adapter bracket would be in order.
I think you should so it. That way, EVERY time you brake, the *** will swing
out good and proper.

Think, McFly... Think.

Does your teg have rear drums? I've looked around at change overs and they're around $800. So I don't know why you're so sarcastic about the price. Not that any of this was %100 going to happen, just ideas. Damn.
