Default Any rear drum brake to disc brake conversion kits?

Does anyone know if ANY rear drum brake to disc brake conversion kits will come out/has already came out for the lx/dx? I was reasearching some kits for older cars and they seem to range within the $200-$1000plus range. I hate how the drums look on the lx and im really looking to change it later on. Do you guys think its gonna be expensive?

I'm sure someone will make one if there is a demand for it. Check out fastbrakes.com.

To spare of you of having to wait for the inevitable posts that are soon to come.

Dont bother upgrading your LX, you should have gotten an SI.

Disclaimer: The above mentioned is not of my opinion but of 90% of this forums.

Its sad, but I remember when I once asked a question about things to do to my LX and I got a bunch of flames saying I shouldve gotten an SI and that I was wasting my time.

lol Who cares what others say, just because I have a LX does not mean I don't have a right to do whatever i want with it...it's my car. A car is a car. There's also many people on here who had no choice but to get the lx/ex/dx, like in my case. And i know what you're talking about elohel, there are SOME, and i mean hardly any, but SOME who will always look down on people with cars that are suckier than theirs. I did notice that a few Si drivers tend to do that to us people with lx's/ex's/dx's. I'm not saying everyone, cuz there's also alot of cool guys to that i respect.

I hear ya.. but Im not gonna lie, easily the majority of SI owners here think they are superior for what their car is packing.. Less than 200 hp and low torque.

But thats just me.

Doesn't the EX have rear discs?
If so I would think converting them should not be that hard.
But what do I know?
The wheels I bought for my ride luckily cover over them.
A stack of McDonalds hotcakes that are bigger than the rear drums on our cars (LX/DX).
Ugly ***** too

Any reason why you want to do this?
