I'm sure if you were going 100+ mph and went to a dead stop, braking would improve a little bit. Day to day driving, red light to red light, no you wont feel a difference. Like me, I'm only going to do that swap because it looks better then those nasty drums.

 

you guys are crazy, I have them and I can stop way better than before the swap

I say do the swap, good mod

 

I noticed that the car stays a lot straighter under hard straightline braking. My drums sucked bad though. I noticed a huge improvement.

 

the junkyard here in canada wants 200$ for everything except brake lines and its missing a caliper.

wtf.!

 

way better when you use performance pads....also get 10.5 disks for the front

 

ehh that's kinda expensive. i got mine w/ lines and everything in awesome shape for 180 i think..... i'm still gonna replace the lines anyways... then again maybe it was 150?

 

i got mine for $63 in tampa from a junkyard.

 

would the yard in tampa happend to be ace?

 

so you're saying your drum brakes are just as good as disc brakes? hmm must be some super drum jdm brakes cause I noticed a huge difference with my rear brake swap. my nose didnt dip as much when braking hard. i'm not sure if you got crap brakes or maybe didnt bleed tham properly but the rear disc brake swap is a must for anyone that drives a little faster than most.

 

no... but i go to ace all the time...know someone who works there...$63 from copher u pull in largo couple of years ago

 

bah, i might as well do it, if nothing else, than for the experience of doing the disc swap. my bud sent me the entire lower control arms + ebrake cables..i'd try and sell them but it would cost so much to ship..they're 50 lbs. each side.

 

i got the whole rear suspension and whole front susp w/ disc from crx si for $300, and it came with skunk2 coilovers and tokico blues.

i felt a great improvement over the STD brakes and i out stop my friends si hatch that has slotted rotors in the front and i still have the rusty junkyard rotors and breakpads

it is well worth it

 

what all would i need to do the conversion on a 91 dx hatch???

 

what tires are you running?

 

you need the entire lower control arm for a crx si or a 90-91 integra. get the ebrake cables too.

question: are the proportioning valve and larger master cylinder necessary to take advantage of the rear discs?
