RS full disc conversion...what do i need and is it worth it?

[EclipseParadise]

exactly what it says in the subject line. Can i get used parts for this conversion from a gsx? How much would this cost (ball park)?


thanks guys.

the discs and calipers and the bolts. the hub itself and i can't remember the rest... someone help me out here. lol
my brain is fried from work.

grab the front calipers too since they are 2 piston

Get the front rotors and calipers from a
95-99' GSX or
92'-99' NON TURBO 3000GT

the rear you will need to get the complete rear suspension, knuckles and brake parts from a GS-T or GS with rear disks
95-99'

I read at Team 2gNT a list of parts i will need for the rear disc conversion...is there anything missing from their list?

2 rear calipers
2 rotors
2 caliper hoses
2 E-brake assemblies/caliper mounting assemblies with cables
2 rear brake pads

they said i can get these parts from the GS, GS-T, or GSX....thats why i posted in the want to buy category for parts from a GSX.

please, please make any corrections/suggestions. I'm planning on ordering new slotted rotors from brembo and new pads, everything else to be taken from another car.

Here's the link to that 2gNT article --> http://www.2gnt.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=104

i'm not tryin' to rain on anyone's parade or tryin' to sound like a dick but why are you doin' a full disk brake conversion on your rs?? couldn't you use that money for some other type of upgrade or are you just goin' for a nice lookin' car...all show and no go?

He might want all disc brakes because they are beneficial for stopping and therefore could save a life :)

Indeed, all of my Psychology classes are paying off! :D

this conversion (as well as the front) is now a job well done.

I have noticed however, that the sway bar is really close to my exhaust and when i hit a bump in the road they hit....is there something i can put between the two to prevent this?
