I did it, and regretted it

- spent money on the swap parts
- gained weight
- no performance gain

Now, i ask myself why i wasted my money

pyes you can do it you need da front hubs rotas calipers . for the rear you need rear trailing arms calipers rotas an ef si brake cables da will work but i think there a lil long. theres not much to write up its a matter of pulling your off and putting the new ones on if done right better stoping oh you need a 4040 poporsion valve from a 90-91 si or a da90-93 integra

Meh, when the CRX got rear disk in 90-91, it actually had longer stopping distances than the older model with rear drums. There are many track test to prove.

It's true, that in many instances, rear disk would be considered an upgrade, but not in the case of the CRX or DA set up

90-91's are heavier so longer stopping distances would be expected. Drums work great, but rear disks look way cooler than a dinky drum back there.

Someone told me that when you brake the front does 75% and the rear does 25% of the braking so shouldn't you focus more on the front brakes if you want more stopping power.

I am also debating if I should get a rear disk cause I like the look of rear disk on the EF or use the money to upgrade my fronts.
