Does anyone make a conversion kit to change the rear drum brakes to disk on a 82 civic hb?

 

A kit? No.

Now for the information you do not want to hear:

-The rear brakes on Civics are basically just along for the ride, they do not contribute much (if any) stopping power. A nose-heavy car like a Civic does 90% of its stopping with the front brakes.

- The iron drums on a Civic are lighter than any kind of rear disks. True fact.

- If your bolt pattern on the '82 is 4x100, you can use the aluminum drums from a 85-87 CRX HF on your car for a serious weight reduction over the iron drums.

Great info. not what I wanted to hear, but that's ok. I will look for the aluminum drums.

Thanks

 

Good info. I came across some 85-87 CRX HF, but never knew about the rear drums and now I will keep my eyes out for some HF rear drums.

 

rear disk looks good but drums are better.

 

scott brought up a good point.. he said that you can polish the drums. hahahaa.
