Default Rear Disc Brake Conversion

A guy i talked to at a car show (the red eclipse in the picture), did a rear disc brake conversion on his 95-96 eclipse... i have been lookin around to do the same thing so i asked him how... what he did was actually buy a 95 with rear disc's, and swapped 'em over... is there any other way? or a kit you can buy somewhere? i would love to get rid of my drums...

thanks

I did the same thing when I had my last car. It was a 2. slow Jetta GL. Had drums. I just went to a junk yard and bought some discs off of a GLX that were in good condition. Cost me 30 bucks if I remeber correctly. Then just swapped the drums with the discs.
