what would it take to have an rear disc conversion on an lx. on a 92 (wish i had a ex) but whats the purpose of that? better stopping? should i stick to the drums?

 

if you really wanted to, you'll likely need trailing arms, knuckle, rotors, changing the lines etc...probably better off with drums, i'm not sure which rear disc assembly mates to your car.

 

If you can find a good price on the setup do it. Like rival12 said, basically the easiest way to do it is to get the whole trailing arm assembly including the upper control arms plus hand brake cables. You should be able to get them off any other cb7's that have them. Possibly have some issues with abs versions, not sure.

If you don't find anything wrong with your drums then I wouldn't bother. Nothing wrong with them. I did it mainly so that I could upgrade my pads etc.

 

With the rear disc, I felt I can stop at a later point. The car doesn't feel as heavy when stopping. Drum should be almost as good as long as you clean out the brake dust inside the drums with brake cleaner.

$899.95 ??????

You can get both rear knuckles, calipers, lines, EVERYTHING for $200 from a salvage yard.

 

I'd like to see you buy everything brand new

if 10+ year old **** is $200, guarenteed brand spanking new stuff will be at least 5 times that

Why pay extra just because it's brand new. the knuckle is fine no mater how old it is. the calipers are fine (unless they are damaged, and even then new calipers are not THAT expensive.) $899 is a RIP OFF. But hey, if you want to pay that, then go for it. I'll save myself $400.00.

I dont think its just the fact that the stuff is new that justifies their price. I beleive it's also because its a big brake version since OEM rear rotors are only "9
