Has anyone done a Rear Brake Converstion?
Has anyone done a Rear Brake Converstion from Drum to Disk? I have been thinking about doing this for a couple of months and have had trouble finding anyone who is willing to do it.

this has been done by alot of members. Just need several parts from an SI and you will be set. I am sure someone will post more in depth about it later. Otherwise I bet this thread will be locked cause there is so much info on it.

Rep Power: 347 I've got ABS, so I don't know if there would be a difference. I mean, if you went racing and stuff then I guess it would be worth the mod, otherwise, I personally think the stock brakes work fine. Besides, most of the stopping is done on the front wheels anyway, so... yeah, unless you're racing, I don't know why you'd want to do it.

It shoudln't be that hard to buy the things that you need from the dealershop. They should sell all the rear disk part from 03 SI.
