I must say it was pretty easy. I also upgraded the RS with a rear sway bar. Both upgrades made a huge difference. I also have stainless lines all around now too, no more mushy pedal.

ok thanks for posting you put rear discs on a car that used to be drum, since you have so much free time when are you going to spray that red over spray in your wheel well black again.

:laugh:

But seriously, I know it looks better but I can't honestly believe you that it made a "huge" difference. How much did it cost you?

The disc brakes and stainless lines made a considerable difference. It cost a couple hundred but my drums were no longer turnable, needed to be replaced, and they look like crap so I upgraded.

Funny, I thought this website was about modifying and tuning cars? I did it because I enjoy working on my car (this is actually the first car that I have ever really done anything with) and figured people on this site could appreciate that. So much for the car enthusiasts on DSMtuners.
 
Don't listen to them, it was a mod well worth your effort. Drums are lame. What kind of stainless lines did you get?

Like Toshiro said - don't let one guy get to you. Anything's better than drums... The setup looks fantastic, and I believe it when you say it makes a difference; great work!
