06 Civic Hybrid rear disc upgrade

SuperJay · 04-02-2008, 01:07 AM

Hey all, n00b here.

I've had my hybrid (the gutless wonder) for a year and a half now, and need to upgrade the brakes. I just find them lacking. The rears are drums, and I'd like to convert them to disc. I'd be fine with stockers in the back

What will i need to do for this? will I need new trailing arms? should I piece it from an Si in the junkyard?

I need help here.

Try just upgrading your front brakes first. It will be much cheaper and just as affective.

I already did. I have custom cut StopTech rotors with CNC cut calipers. I dropped my stop distance from 80mph from 210 feet to under 170 feet. The back JUMPS when I hit the brakes, though. I have 300 pounds of system back there, i need more stop in teh back
