I recently did the rear disc brake conversion on my Eclipse RS. I want to mention that I used 97 Avenger hubs, 97 Avenger backing plate, 95 Talon calipers, and Gst rotors. Someone should do an update to all the how tos for the conversion because it doesn't state that Avengers can be a donor car for the disc brake conversion. I had the part numbers compared and they are the same for the Avenger and Talon and Eclipses.
 
Sorry, don't have pics. It is very straightforward though. I just followed the how tos. http://www.dsmhorsepower.com/howtos/drumtodisc2g.html

My own notes during the intallation:
You can use Avenger rotors, Avenger hub/backing plate assembly, and Avenger calipers. All I used for my conversion were the rotors, hub/bp assem, and calipers. You won't need the brake lines or e-brake cables at all. Your current brake line and e-brake cables will fit right in.
