I have seen people do the conversion by just changing the entire control arm. That is what my autos instructor is doing to his 92 Civic. He bought Integra rear control arms and since they already have disc brakes he just needs to put all new bushing in them and then swap them in. Seems like it might be a bit cheaper than a professional disc conversion kit.

Rear discs have an e-brake also. When you swap out ther drums for discs you hook up the e-brake cables like normal and you have an e-brake. Maybe i misunderstood your question though
