Rear drum brakes? - Page 2

***splew*** · 08-13-2008, 06:40 PM

I would consider doing it if someone gave me an EX rear suspension for free. It would still be A LOT of work though.

I'd be too scared to mess with something as crucial as brakes. It seems like an interesting thought though

Lol, I know what you mean. Everyone is scared to work on cars, you just have to get past it and as long as you know what you're doing you will be fine.

that's how i learned alot of things, and it's good to have somone knowledgeable around when you're are doing it also if it's avail...

I don't know if I would want to replace the perfectly good stock parts on my car with ones I found in a salvage yard though. Especially something as important as the brakes.

and thats exactly what i did!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Who just pops in with the biggest LX mod yet and leaves without posting any details? Not cool.

I did a rear disc swap on my 1989 Accord Coupe, It was as simple as swapping the entire rear suspension knuckles and all, Proportioning valve, and running the E brake cables.
