Hey everyone just started looking around for civic forums to jump into, i recently got a 97 honda civic ex and wanted to do a rear drum to disc conversion on the brakes. I have seen a good amount on oem swaps, but wanted to start figuring out how I could upgrade and what performance parts I could use for my car, I know i need ebrake lines, new brake lines, new spindles, or performance spindles with the caliper attachment, as well as pads, rotors, brake clips, and calipers. Any ideas on what to use? And if I am missing anything please feel free to say so! Thanks much everyone! Look forward to seeing everyones thoughts!

Thanks for the link, i looked at it and I like the fact it comes as a kit, however I really wanted more performance grade parts instead of standard or remanufactured parts. Is there any good websites to order performance parts for the swap?

Not that I know of.

Maybe Wilwood?

The rear doesn't really need a performance setup.

Just performance for the front? What's the reasoning for that? Just wondering

Rear brakes are replaced about 1/3 as frequently as fronts. They aren't used in the same capacity so it just isn't necessary.

Oh, that makes sense then. Thanks much!! Hoping to be able to do this soon and start my project!

Most of your braking is done with the front. An OEM disk setup in the rear is plenty.
