rear disc brakes
i have a 93 civic coupe ex with rear drum brakes and since i have swapped and go faster i noticed my braking isnt near as good as i want it to be. would installing a rear disc conversion be worth my time and money? i also have no ABS :/

If all you've done is a swap, no. You don't need them, not now at least. Try upgrading with what you've got now and and some new brake lines. In other words, unless your car is a hp monster, they're really not necessary.

Re: rear disc brakes (ware)
^^^^ ive heard both and i think a disc looks better and driven a civic with rear disc and it feels grabbier... but i didnt know if it was just my imagination or whatnot. i can get the full conversion for likr $150 off my buddy so i was wondering about it.

In that case I would do it, but don't expect to stop on a dime.

He already has the EX so they are the same size brakes.
