Alright, I just got a set of 17" ICW 786H wheels put on my car and i wanna swap out my rear drum brakes to disc so that I can put big rotors on both ends; is there a conversion kit i can buy for a 2000 neon so that i can get rid of my little bitty brakes? If so how much would it set me back? :uhoh: :smokin: :icon16:

this guy vitor on neons.org sells big brake kits for $1200 and $1400, seems expensive to me since they look like oem brakes of another dodge. Im not sure though.

certain models of neons comes with 4 wheel disc go to a junk yard grab some of them parts

I did this on my 2000 neon. Go to junk yard and look. Like lilblack said some came with them very easy swap also. I was told some years R/T and ACR came with them. I called and called to all junkyards noone had any then I was wondering threw. I like to do from time to time and found a '95 Espesso with all disk brakes. Very easy swap junk yard sold to me cheap also since they had no idea why I wanted them and didnt know they had them. Little tip you will probable need WD-40 and dont spray alot in summer july/August bees love this stuff and in NW junkyard are full of bees. So look into doing it soon.

anyone know where I can find some instructions to swap drums to disc? A link would help. Thanks

if you are going to want to run massive rotors, your best bet is too look towards an aftermarket company like wilwood or stoptech! with an OEM caliper, you will need to make brackets to space it out, so why not just go the whole 9yards and do it 100%.

find a SRT and steal his brakes all around! fronts and backs

He didn't say anything about running massive rotors nor would he have to get brackets made for the oem caliper. You need everything from the e-brake cable back to the backing plate from a rear disc neon.

so that I can put big rotors on both ends

11" brake rotors are not big, so yes he would need spacer brackets to get big brakes. stock calipers wont clear anything much bigger than any standard neon has, which again is not big

I have heard of taking the brake parts off a second generation neon, but not off an SRT...I wonder if this is a direct swap?
