Question Should I get this for my cars?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

I found that on ebay, I wonder if it's good to put on my cars. Also I don't know what's the brand of that thing yet. My car is disc on front and drums on the rear. Is that setup in the pictures are the same???
Give me some good advice here guys. Thanks!

Can't say I've heard of the company and frankly, just so you know, it'll take A LOT more than rotors to do a rear disc conversion.

Your best bet is to go to a junkyard and find a v6 model of the same generation as yours and just start tearing things off. You'll need pretty much the entire rear braking assembly.

4 discs are only for cars with ABS...

since you have drum rears, you dont have ABS, and you cant use the rear breaks unless you do a drum-to-disc conversion...

gen3's rarely have a 4cyl with rear discs, but there was dealer options which few people selected (you will see a couple floating around).

It's a rule of the thumb (even in the owners manual) that if your ABS light doesn't come on in a gen3, you don't have rear discs or ABS.

itzsteven,

Thanks for the link. I just bought a set.

It's one of those companies that machine stock discs, which is fine with me. I'm not going auto crossing any time soon. It's more about the look.

Thanx Again,

Mike
