Default 92 civic lx rear brake disk conversion.

I have a 92 civic lx, i have put a z6 Si motor in and si tranny, I'm gunna put a sun roof in it soon, and the only thing thats left for a complete Si Conversion Is my Rear brakes. i seen a si at the junk yard with the rear disk. just curious how hard is it to transform drum to disk? and is it worth it cause people tell me drums are better. and if it is easy how do i do it is it bolt on??

It is a direct bolt off and bolt on affair. Make sure you grab the ebrake cables.

its like comparing a hooker girlfriend to like...Megan fox. Megan fox is hotter, more efficient and all around a better choice.
As for the rear disc brakes, their a million times better then drums and can be done with a fair amount of ease since it is a direct bolt on. When I did mine I didnt know anything about **** but i still figured it out and Ill be the first to admit im half retarded.

You dont necessarily have to swap out master cylinders, brake boosters, or the 4040 prop valve, but i would suggest it. I still have my stock ex MC/BB and prop valve as well since I havent gotten around to spending 30 bucks at sears for a set of master torques they wont let me return that Ill use once.
