ASOG Forums

Hi. I would like to know if it is possible to convert the rear drum brakes to disc brakes. If so, what is needed,(i would be putting aftermakert parts), what kind of work is involved ect. Would the handbrake still work? Is there anything important I should know about this?

3rd gen eclipse rear disc , or im sure the avengers that come stock with rear disc you could use but not positive on that one

I think there's a write up on here somewhere, do a search.

Yes the Avenger rear discs will work.  Not to hard of a swap to do.

Right there ^^

is it that much to ask of people to do a simple search before asking questions that have been answered 10934750293475 times in the past.

Yes it is.  A lot of people are young and new to the car game, the don't understand the whole search thing.  Instead of people blasting him for it (I know you weren't) we (people on ASOG) have just started posting up the O.G. post and telling them how to search.

I'm sure you've been on ASEC for a while, it's a bit different over here.

Yes
You need: e-brake assemblies, rotors, calipers, brake lines. The only thing available aftermarket are rotors and stainless steel brake lines.
The most difficult part of the swap is removing/installing the hub bearing assemblies, converting the e-brake cable to fit, and bleeding the air out of the brake lines after the calipers are installed.

Yes
Set a whole day aside to do this.

Here are some pics to assist you with the install:

All four of these cars use the exact same rear disc setup.

95-00 Dodge Avenger
95-00 Chrysler Sebring
95-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse
95-98 Eagle Talon

Thank you all for your input. Actually, I had done a search ;) I am not new to forums, just this one ;D I did have a life before getting my avenger, and i quite familiar with cars, thank you. I imagine there is also a posibility to get after market calipers, since the rotors can be swithed.

could do front 3kgt dual piston calipers

Yes, but I didn't mention it because it can get rather expensive.
I wasn't sure how your funds or budget stood and I really don't care to know.

you can also do a gsx ,tsi conversion with the calipers there dual piston also the the 3000gt

The GSX is a direct bolt up too, the 3000GT you have to change your brake hoses.

219+shipping for the set at DMS. it's the FULL set too

How did this go from rear drum to disc conversion to GSX front brakes?

Cuz we'z good like that. lol

Ok. Back on topic. Get to the rear.
