I think all the parts I needed to swap from drums to rear disks cost about $175. Thats integra trailing arms calipers and new rotors, pads, and rubber brake hoses.

Bump cause I'd like to know too .

And uhh...not to threadjack, but is converting to rear disk really worth it? Would it be better to just spend that money upgrading the front brakes to larger ones?

Just asking because I read somewhere on these forums a while back that converting to rear disks don't really help our EF/ED's stop much better than stock.

Thanks.

I picked up the trailing arms/calipers from a 90 teg for $120 from the local pick and pull. The pads and rotors came from my local autozone and the new rubber lines came from the internet. The junkyard also threw in the booster/master cylinder and prop valve for $20. THinking about it my original total can't be correct.

Trailing arms/calipers : $120
Booster/mastercylinder/prop valve: $20
Autozone rotors 2x : $16 each
Autozone pads: $20
Brake Hoses: $40

Which brings the total to about $230

only worth it for ease of changing the disc pads rather than drum shoes. I changed mine to mainly for that reason and for looks. I upgraded my front brakes to a 11" Fastbrake set up and it just looked silly with rear drums. Flame all ya want!!
