rear drum to disc conversion
 

I have a 2000 altima gxe. It comes stock with rear drums. I wanted to upgrade the rotors, but decided I should convert the rear drums to discs like those on the altima se. I'm just wondering what i need exactly to do the conversion.Can anyone list the parts I will need. Thanks

the best way to go about this is to check with a dealership parts person. some cars have everything different from the rotor, all the way to the master cylinder. it may just be chaging the hub and adding a rotor and caliper, but you will almost assuredly need the new suspension pieces that hold the caliper on, so forth..its almost always ALOT of work...

what i did it i bought a brake and rotor conversion from a 94 integra so that i would get disk brakes. its the best way. you should try to get the set off the SE, it would make things alot easier and they should bolt right on, i mean the shocks rotos and calipers everything. one piece.

so youre saying he or she should buy the entire suspension assembly...that is usually what has to be done..

kind of in a way. it is alot easier and sometimes cheaper. i know alot of people from the other forum i am on that do that. it saves alot of hassel later on when upgrading different parts for it, like easier to find coilovers or shocks for the new assembly. that is what i did and it was ALOT easier to find parts. they didnt make anything really for a 91 4dr at all so i had to customize it and it made life alot easier.

hmm...ill take your word for it...i did a drum to disc change on an 95 sebring..and it was a nightmare....everything in the suspension was diffferent..
