Rear Disk Brake Conversion Results, To all who have done it... Options

[UTSlickVic]

One of the last "major" things I want to do to my Celica is covert the rear drums to disks. I have been sitting on this for awhile and it seems the longer I wait the more I dont want to do it. Honestly, I want to do it more for looks than anything. Plus its really going to take me two weekends(two Saturdays) to do it- 1) I have to go to the junk yard to pull off the correct parts, 2) then I have to install them.

My question is: Is it really worth the effort (besides looks)? It the braking power that much more different? Should I expect more headaches after the conversion? - meaning, the things I intalled falling apart, or maybe other things like bosster/master cylinder giving out?


Someone just kick me in the ass and tell me to do it

Thanks

Got any quyestions hit me up here or on AIM (jeremy1210) I'll be glad to help you with any questions.

BEfore you start make sure you got
-2 cailper bolts for the calipers to the backing plates. For some reason I lost mine and had to go buy some which are hard to find at local hardware stores
- the brake lines that attach to the calipers
- the internal brake components for the parking brake
- A buddy or friend to keep you company
- food and Something cold to drink
- a plastic tube so when you bleed the brake system
- plenty of brake fluid for the system
- plenty of rags the brake dust is horrible

if all goes well, it might take you 4 hours. Took me about that long if I remember(was 2 years ago). Its better to go slow than it is fast. What I suggest is start on Friday so that wasy if you need parts you can go to the store on Saturday.
