Rear disc brake swap

[MX-TREME DREAM]

I've just finished my rear drum to disc brake swap. It went pretty smooth. Its just a matter of swapping the hub assemblies which are interchangable. The e-brake cables are a little different, but you can make it work if you're real thrifty. You might want to adjust your proprtioning valve or just by one for the rear disc brakes. I've noticed a big difference in my braking and the way my 17's look w/ discs behind them.<BR>As for cross drilled and slotted rotors I've heard that Canadian tire sells them for $119. CND, so thats @ $60 USA. This will be my next MX-3 endeavor. Later. :p

hey man wanna give me a quick write up about you ahd to be "thrifty"?

[MX-TREME DREAM]

I'm pretty mechanically inclined so doing my own work has saved me 100's of dollars in rediculous labor charges. Then I did a little research about the project(of course on MX-3.com).I also own a 92'MX-3 shop manual I found on eBay for $30. Getting the right info is very important!!! Then I did some parts shopping and found a guy that totaled his GS and sold me both rear hub assbls., rotors, calipers, control arms,brake lines, ebrake cables, and the larger brake booster for only $200. Thats where being thrifty really helped. If I were to ask a garage to do this I would have had to take out a loan. I figure I saved @ $600.-$700. in parts and labor and my car looks damn sexy. I hope this the info you wanted. Later. :p :p

hey my dad just bought 2 gs' so i have all the parts i need. is ti pretty much i direct fit?

[MX-TREME DREAM]

Yeah. Its totally a direct fit. n't forget to change the proportioning valve,(a liitle black box on the fire wall that eaqualizes your brakes.

How different would that be to swap the rear drums to disc on a 94 Rs

[MX-TREME DREAM]

From what i've seen they're all the same.
