Has anyone seen what disc simulators look like on a MX-3? Or on any car?<p>Here is what I am talking about:<p>

NO! Are you going to then paint red calipers on the discs? Bud save your money for the real thing. $100 USD is just not worth it, IMO.<p>one

haha I don't know I guess that depends on your preference, personally I looked at that site and I think they look pretty dope. But they are kinda a rip considering it's just 4 little pieces of metal for 100 bucks.

I have drum brakes in the back. I've also considered painting them silver with the Folia Tec paint - and I do actually want to paint my front calipers red. It's just that I can't seem to find the Folia Tec paint sold anywhere online.

You could buy 2 cross drilled and slotted rotors for $100.

I didn't know if it was possible to replace the drums with rotors. I would probably do that if it is possible (and not very expensive like over $500).

nope, not talking about the back ones, the gs comes with 4 wheel disc brakes though, converting from drums to disc is quite a task, don't know exact costs though.

Its not tooo bad of a task.. You need the rear spindles off a GS, the E brake cable, and then the calipers, brake hoses, and rotors. Find someone with a wrecked GS.
