Traded my Nxexpress N2O kit to em2typeflex for the kit and so far just drove it around the block last night to make sure it worked ok. Will break them in today and let you know.

*pees on his shitty rear drum*

yum.

btw those arent jackin points!

but I guess they're fine. *shrug*

careful jacking car up from rear subframe though.. not sure where u had the jack exactly from the pic, but that area can be a bit flimsy.

As for the jack stands the car was shaken vigouriously with the car on the stands to insure it wouldnt move, and the jack was placed back under the car just touching the body as a saftey back up.

tfnaaf, OK. How do they feel? How does it compare to the old drums?

How much does it cost to convert to rear disc?
thanks.

To be honest MAYBE a noticeable improvement in pedal feel. But i mainly did it cause it looks cool and I can

As far as cost i think the average conversion kit sells for around $400 and i installed it myself in a few hours.

Yeap they look good too. Did you have to put on a whole new Knuckle? Or, did you rip the drum off and bolt on the rotor and caliper?

Oh and those discs look much better.
