ugly rear drum brakes
 
so like im washing my car and it's lookin' *bling bling* (haha) and I notice the rear disc brakes look pretty ugly with my rims :paranoid: , is it possible(cheap) to change the rear drum system to a disc system like the ex models? oh, merry x-mas!

i was lookin im my haynes manual about the rear drums... doesn't looks like i can touch it without braking (pun intended) something

:santa: Merry Xmas.

Anyways, I think it'd be easier to replace the trailing arms with something off an ITR, or a different civic that has rear disk brakes.

I'm not sure about the application on your '94 accord though.

my friend did a disc brake conversion on his 91 hatch. said it was very easy. he used ITR rear discs

just go hunting in the junkyards. anything from 90 to 97 will fit. you will need rear knuckles, rear arms ( 2 lower and 1 upper), and the rear calipers

Try this before you go ripping out your drums for rotors.

Just spray paint the drums black(or whatever color if you want to be unique). It's simple and hides the ugly drum covers real well. Just take off your rear wheels, clean the drum covers *real* well, then simply spray paint it. Try and use thermal paint if possible, it'll last longer and look better.
