97 Accord LX wanting to do a 4 wheel disc conversion

I have rear drums and want to replace them with a set of discs. Any ideas on were to look are start. I don't want to just replace them with the EX discs I want increased stopping power.

if I was you I would get the whole EX knuckle assembly with the calapers attached for the back. Also get the perportening valve as it may be different (not sure on that)..

I would rather upgrade the front brakes to V6 ones as the fronts provide 90% of the car's stopping power...

i would upgrade the front to legend calipers instead...2 pistons are better than one...also, you aren't going to see much of a gain in stopping power by upgrading the rear to discs...it's a waste of money in my opinion unless you just don't like the look of drums...
