Drum to Disc Conversion
ORIGINAL: lonasindi
as long as you can lock up the tires, then your brakes are fine. it's the rubber on the wheels that really determines braking ability. if it starts sliding at 70% braking, then you don't want to spend money on brakes until you've upgraded the tires.

I wish people would stop saying that... you really don't have to swap the valves!
Right now, i'm driving a 99 Sport with a rear-disc swap, since i'm working on my ACR. It never got the prop-valve swap, and it brakes identically to my ACR. I know the part numbers are different. I know there is a difference, but in daily driving, autocross, and trackday use, this car has always braked identically to every 4w disc car I've driven, and the owner of the Sport has driven, including his 95SC with stock 4w disc.

Here's the howto off my car-club website for a first-gen, the procedure should be almost identical on a 2nd-gen.
