420A How to swap rear drum brakes to disks?

[PneumaticDEZ]

My 98 Eclipse GS non turbo has drum brakes. I'm also looking at converting to disk and not really knowing exactly what parts are needed for the conversion

Google and add dsmtuners as their is a write up and list of things to do for it.

The only GS models that should have been available with rear drums were spyders. Either way, the conversion is the same as coupes. You'll need the backing plates, calipers, hoses, rotors & pads, parking brake shoes & hardware, and parking brake cables.

The easiest approach is to just pull the whole spindle from a 2g or 3g and swap out the whole deal.

I have drum brakes in the rear.

So almost the whole rear of a 2g gst or gsx?

Remove the red nuts/bolts. Take the yellow piece and everything attached to it (green).

You'll also want the parking brake cables (blue)

Resolved - 2GNT Drum Brake To Disc Brakes

So. I have a 98 Eclipse and I am replacing the rear drum brakes with discs. Since this is my first time experiencing anything like this, i dont really have an idea of what to do. i have taken out the dust shield and entire drum on one side but im not sure where to go from here. Im pretty sure i...

Alternatively, I used a Mitsubishi Diamante rear disc brake setup on one of my 2g. It's a direct swap. You'll need the parking brake cables as well. The entire spindle bolts up but you really only need the the caliper assemblies, rotors and parking brake cables. I did this because no other rear disc brake equipped vehicles were available. Nobody else seems to know that these parts will work but I had no trouble at all with them. It you plan to run a wide wheel and tire assembly I'd stick with the DSM spindles as the Diamante spindles have a tighter curvature, but they won't change the suspension geometry or travel.

I have some good info on post #368 in my build thread. Some before and after as well but that's when I realized that the swap is literally a bolt on ordeal without even spindle swapping.

Good idea not welding the hatch i had to buy a junkyard hatch from not knowing better a few years ago, warping the hatch stupid bad. I should have used those patches rather than fiberglass and resin. Looks like way less of a mess. What are you planning to do with the spoiler?? I love that low...
