Is it possible to change drum brakes to disk brakes?

my 200 honda civic im about to put 16%26quot; rims on it and it wouldn%26#039;t look right with out all disk. so im looking to change the rear disk brakes and just replace the front ones.|||There are kits out there to upgrade many vehicles to disk brakes on the rear. Check out any auto parts store to get an idea of the cost of a kit locally. Then go to the web and check out Stainless Steel Brakes at www.ssbrakes.com. Also check out the local stores for car magazines and you will be able to find ads for several other companies that sell aftermarket brake kits. Good luck %26amp; happy motoring.|||Yes...but it will cost you more money than you%26#039;re going to want to spend (over 1000 likely) to get everything fitted and installed. It involves a lot of fabrication and honestly if you can%26#039;t do it yourself you%26#039;re going to get gouged. Machinists and mechanics will definitely take advantage of you...hell, I would; it%26#039;s a stupid request like installing a spoiler on a kia.





For the guy below who provided a link but didn%26#039;t read it: read the faq. hondaluver(sp?) already listed all the parts that is need.as for the price, if u get it from honda, it would be around $700 total for brand new parts.junk yard and other places would run u between three to five hundred. if you want %26quot;professional installation%26quot; that would be extra of course.|||I%26#039;m guessing that you were typing %26quot;2000%26quot; and left off the last %26quot;0%26quot;. Here%26#039;s a post in the Civic Forums that spells out exactly what you need to convert from drums to disks on a 7th generation Civic. Seems like it gets asked so often that it frustrates veteran users. :-)
