You can swap out just the rear spindles with an I4 EX so you have discs, but don't expect braking to really improve. The ideal situation would be to get the rear spindles, lines, ebrake cable (which you'd need anyway) then also get the EX master cylinder, etc. But because you don't have ABS it won't be exactly like the EX brake system. I have no problem locking up my LX brakes lol...so I don't really see the need for greater braking force in the rear...sticker tires is really the only thing to decrease braking distance at full clamping force. More aggressive pads can help braking as long as you can modulate the pedal yourself. Braided lines give a firmer feel, and can reduce brake fade, but it's still up to modulating the brake pedal on LX's.

I don't blame you for wanting to swap though...I've thought about doing it too, just to get rid of the ugly drums out back. It's not so bad with stock wheels, but when you put lightweight 18's on there, it really shows off the ugly drums.
Can I use the wheel hubs from my lx with drums in a ex disc brake knuckle???
