'96 Drum to Disk brake conversion possible?
Hey all,
I'm new here because i just got a '96 Accord LX I4 5 speed 134k miles a few weeks ago. The car was handed down to me, so i had no choice on package options etc.
It has stock wheels with scratched up hubcaps, and i was thinking of getting some aluminum wheels, but the '00 prelude ones, for instance, don't work on my rear because i have drum brakes.
SO.....
I'm wondering if I can do a drum to disc brake conversion in the rear to allow some better looking wheels in the future. Is this common?
Thanks,
Adam

the lude wheels don't work because the lude is a 5 lug pattern, your accord is 4 lug. There are plenty of aftermarket 4 lug wheels to fit accords. If you want OEM wheels look for some older Acura CL wheels(not positive on the years, but around 97-99). And you can do drum to disk conversions, here is the best thread i've found

I made this offer already, but he turned it down, let me know what you think. $100 for the basic parts (arm, caliper, rotor) $250 for all that + master cylender, and e-brake cable.
Prices are negotiable
