Default Rear Disc Conversion? EJ8

Hey guys I know this topic has been covered, but my question is if it's worth it? I have a ej8, the fronts are disc but the rears are drums. YES, i do take it to the track occasionally for fun, and I have found a guy on craigslist that's selling the complete rear conversion from an integra for 150$. Have all the lines and everything I need. Is this something y'all would do? Are drums really much worse? Thanks!

you may as well go 5 lug and gain the larger ITR brakes...plus you can rock CCW's thus why I'm switching up my integra's brakes to 5 lug.

though becoming a 5 lug thug is cool (i wish i had the money for it)
there are other ways you can upgrade your brakes
