Rear Drum upgrade

yes i know, i should go with rear disks, but i have my reasons. now to my point. im lookin into gettin larger rear drums, maybe from a 6th gen accord(98-02), and was wondering, what size drum they were, anyone know? theyre 4 lug right? any other car that has 4x100 lug pattern with bigger drums than ours?

ok, the reason im goin with drums is:

1. price,
2. complexity,
3. discs in the rear will mess up brake balance, and will drasticly change the handling manners of the car.

Thanks, even to the flamers

Accord has a 4x114.3 bolt pattern, it's not gonna work. You'd have to look at Neons, Focuses, Sentras, Corollas, etc... Econoboxes with 4x100 patterns. I don't think the rear brakes do a whole hell of a lot on our cars anyway, so it might not make much difference.
