Rear Disc Conversion!!

I just did it last week... Much better than the drums in opinion!!

All I swapped was the E-Brake Cables, and the brakes themselves.. It was a str8 swap..

I did not Change the P-Valve or the Master Cylinder, was told I might need to, but the master cylinders had the same #'s on them so I left it.. No probs..
I am still meaning to call the parts store to see if the P-Valve and the Master are the same...

I also had to switch my wheels.. DX had only 13's (won't fit on the LX discs) But I ordered new wheels and tires on sat, should be here thurs so I solved that problem..

I did that swap too!

Definite improvement.

My Brembo cross-drilled rotors on the front made a bigger difference, but I think that might have something to do with the fact that it's like 70% braking at the front or something I think.

Either way, they look alot tougher, right?

And I don't think you'll have any problem with not changing all that other stuff... I did'nt and I have no problem.
