Default How hard is it to do REAR Disc Brake Conversion? on a LX

I see that Ex models get the Rear Disk Brake conversion..how hard is it...and does anyone know the pricing? also what do you guys think is better rear disk or rear drum....personally...as of now i really like my rear drums..they work really good.. i can do alot of wna be drifts and the rear drums stop the rear wheels really fast....whats your guys opinion?>

you'll need to swap the whole knuckle from drum to disc, you'll need the cable from Ex also, you might or might not need the porportion valve(which you need to do some more research)

Drum works great, if your car never will see the roadracing, autocross, why bother?

No comment on the wanna-be drift or stupid **** powerslide crap.

I think you need a set of Corvette rear discs for that drift machine.

edit: the tercel has to be a GT model in order for it to work

c'mon guys leave him alone, so what if he wants to drift a FWD accord......everyone has different tastes.

but anways, like some of the users above have stated, just get the whole trailing arm/knuckle from an EX accord from 90-97 with E-brake cables and just bolt her in. the biggest issue is, do you need a proportion valve. there is a lot of debate as to is it really needed or not........not really sure myself. expect to pay $150-200 shipped for a rear disc conversion. you could probably get one from your junkyard for like $100-150....

I wonder about your experience in driving? i may not be the best drifter. but i do practice alot. what about you do u even practice? probably drag racing. but big deal who cant step on the accelerator and shift at redline? draggin = played out.. driving in mountains sliding is what its all about.
