Rear disc barkes?

Ok. I was looking in a magazine the other day and found the rear disc brake conversion for the hatch. I wanted to know if you guys thought it was worth the effort to swap over....let me know something!:bandit:

I love the finished product. But maybe I am dumb, but that was the hardest, most pain in the ass thing I have ever done to my car. I would rather do a motor swap, then go through what I did on my rear disc swap.

But like I said, I am very satisfied with the end product. I also will be doing the swap on my hatch I just picked up.

There's lots of debate on this subject, but the concensus is that since the front brakes do over 70 percent of the stopping, the most bang for the buck when it comes to stopping will come from getting a big brake setup, that is to swap out the larger FRONT rotors from a 90-93 Integra (Or a Civic EX) with the front rotors on your present vehicle.
Doing the rear-rotor swap will increase your stopping power, and lots of drivers here have done it. But the big brakes up front has more effect.

PS-I haven't done either of these, so what do I know? I see the big brake parts available on eBay regularly.
