adding disc to rears

[cdubb]

is it worth it to add disc brakes to the rear of my 93 del sol, it has no abs i dont think?
which sucks for braking on wet slopes at high speeds lol

also, anyone know any reputable places in BC, Canada to do a swap out my d15 for a b16

Some Si models didn't come with ABS. Find a Si without ABS and the rear discs should be a direct swap. You'll probably have to change the proportioning valve, and brake booster along with the entire rear wheel assembly to accomodate the discs, but it's a fairly straight-forward swap.

Not sure about shops in Canada - I'm in the southeast USA.

You can probably add ABS, but that's a whole other beast. I won't touch ABS with a ten-foot pole. I'd recommend letting Honda or a shop install it.

As for rear discs and stopping power, yes it should improve it but don't expect a HUGE difference. If you want some aggressive stopping power, look into an aftermarket upgrade to your OEM brakes. Slotted rotors or standard blank rotors will work just fine, and better pads will help. Or if you get wheels that can accomodate larger rotors, a big brake kit will be a big improvement with more powerful brake calipers.

OEM brakes should be fine for you right now though while your D15 motor is still stock. New pads and rotors will be just fine. Once you start adding power, I would suggest improved brakes.
