Default Rear brake upgrade on 4th gen Accord

Anyone know of any good rear disk brake swaps out there for a 90 Accord EX?

How difficult would it be to swap rear disks from another Accord from the same years? If anyone has some info, it would be really helpful...

you don't need the trailing arms.

All you need is the hub assembly (green circle) + e-brake cables. Trailing arms (blue arrow) and brake lines are the same.

i thought the brake lines are diff? The goodridge SS brake line applications are different for rear disc and rear drums. The rear discs has more lines, the 2 soft lines in the rear on each side.

you just need the soft lines that come with the disc assembly. they fit right into the existing hard lines. I was really confused about this before i did it, but it all fit perfect.

Thank you everyone for their suggestions. I'm going to be going with a "road race" type look and would love the braking/suspension/motor to live up to it. Is there any rotor/caliper upgrades available for the rear after converting it to accept the discs?

Thanks...
