Default Brakes swap question...

I'm looking at swapping out drum brakes for disc brakes. Is it possible to do? I have a 94 Accord LX Sedan and was thinking about swapping the rear drum brakes for rear disc brakes from a 94 or 95 EX model. I know they are all ABS, but does it make any difference? Like, would do the calpiers need the ABS computer to work? Is the entire brake assembly interchangeable between all model 94-97 Accords?

Also, since the EX model has a 2nd brake fluid tank(as seen here: http://i50.photobucket.com/alb...s.jpg ), would I have to run that to the brakes when I install it?

If this isn't possible or is more work than it's worth, how else can I improve the stopping ability of my brakes, other than changing the pads and fluid?

the abs system is of no concern....there is a complete writeup of this brake swap (as well as others) at http://www.accordinglydone.com ....it should answer just about every question you have...it should be under the tech forum...good luck

Seriously? I could almost swear the cap says DOT3 brake fluid only...I could be wrong, though.
