Rear swap...

Hey all, khalil here, just wondering if EX rear Disc brakes would swap over to the Lx model, Im planning on keeping the car for a good long time, but I just dont like how it looks with rims. Disc brakes on the front, and drums on the back....

yes, but I believe you'll need to do the entire arm assembly. I'll double check on it.

this has been discussed a couple of times in the past, including a thread which listed all of the parts that would probably be necessary for such a swap.

The problem is that the cars have an electronic brake force distribution system, and changing from drum to disc will require replacing that and many other complex parts.
