Just get some CLR and clean the drums up. Its not rust, its calcium.
As for the conversion, you can take the rear brakes off an Eclipse GS.

to do the conversion i believe you need the whole rotor, caliper assembly. i think you need the rear hubs too. the lines should hook into the calipers and it shouldnt be too hard.
I test drive a rs eclipse that had the same tires as mine and i gotta say the 4 wheel disc on the gs do help you stop faster. 119ft 60-0 aint too shabby... that would be like hitting your brakes in the endzone at 60 and stopping by about the 35-36 yard line.
However... that didn't help me much when I ran into the back of a camaro.. but what can you do when your left like 50 feet to stop by a idiot in a truck who wasn;t paying attention and swireved off the road at the last second :P peace
