wtf? why would you do a disc brake conversion? backs are useless for daily use. the back is mostle for e-brake.
it helps a little if you change your drums to disc. but i highly recommend you do the fronts first because the backs wont make much of a difference. when u pressing brakes u usually using 70-80% front and 20-30% back. so back is rarely used.
oh and the front big brakes, I like it alot!

actually its not stupid to do fronts and leave rears. like I said, brakes dont engage rears as much as fronts. is not stupid to do fronts and leave rears. rear conversion costs more than fronts. you pay more for rear conversions and have less effects. performance-wise, itwouldnt be much of a difference. so your basically doing it for looks.

I like mines looking like stock so when a type-s or any cars above my car pulls up next to me, it'll look like he got burned by a slow civic.
if you want looks, why dont you get body kit etc?

Rep Power: 0 I have already done a lot to my car to make it look and perform better. I have spent over $2,000 on the wheels/tires, spent $1,250 on some KW coilovers, and spent over $7,000 on the audio system / alarm. In the next couple of months, I will be spending $6-7,500 on a K20A2 engine swap. From there, I will replace the OEM front bumper with an Octane front bumper and get a custom paint job. Leather interior will follow after that. Amongst all of this I will be upgrading to Brembo brakes. So, I have a lot left to do to my car.

Rep Power: 0 Need to clarify this for you all: these wheels / tires are from an '04 LX. This means that the wheels are made of steel and have the plastic covers on them. These are not EX wheels, which are alloy.
