rear drum/disc brakes swap

donald7150 · 2006-10-15

I recently picked up a second car, a '95 Neon Sport Coupe I am currently driving a '97 Neon Highline DOHC the '95 has 4 wheel disc brakes w/abs the '97 had front disc/rear drum with no abs what is involved in switching the systems around? the '95 will be my daily driver, but the '97 is going to be more of a project car and I plan to add many upgrades and I wouldnt mind having the disc brakes on the '97 has anyone attempted this yet??

Go to this thread: http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122420 Underdodge still has a set of discs for the rear as far as I know. I didn't buy them because freight was too much to Alaska.

Yeah! Alaska I talked to Underdodge the other day and he told me how much the shipping would be...........thats insane! almost 300$ to ship, what a load of bull!

I wish I knew enough to tell you Donald!!!! You can look at a few other sites which offer free info and How-to's. www.allpar.com and also Neons.org. One of them sites may have a tutorial or something, maybe even with pictures. Good luck!
