Default Brake Conversion?

I am going to upgrade my brakes from drums to rotors. How difficult is it to do? Should I do it, or go to a shop?

easy, provided that you have all the parts, it's should take half a day. or how ever long it take you to do it. just take your time.

Thanks for the help. I was assuming that it wouldnt be difficult, but I didnt want to get into something that I couldnt finish. I already have the parts, I got front and rear gsr, it is just that I am in Italy now, so I wasnt sure if it was a sure shot, because I have yet to look at it. Thanks again!

Only problem youll run into is probably E brake cable, other then that youll have a harder time finishing a 12 pack of long necks (in one sitting) then doing this swap.

There are quite a few writeups. I know I did one, as well as =GAMEOVA= and possibly others.

Mine, showing how to put 4x114.3 brakes on (same thing as 4x100)
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=811892

=GAMEOVA='s thread.
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=812062

Better than mine. You should use his as a step by step. Mine is just more helpful as far as 4x114.3 parts.
