    2 things, really. As always. :D

    1. What's going to be cheaper, a full rear disc conversion (junkyard parts) + new pads or getting my drums redone?

    2. Front pads are squealing, probably almost gone. Recommendations for replacements?

    I put on EBC Greenstuff pads - they were pretty cheap and stop a lot better than the stockers but make a ton of dust ;). Also they are silent, which is a benefit. When I replace these I'm going to try Hawk HP's to see how they compare.

    Rear disc conversion can be expensive.

    assuming I can get it done for $150 or less?

    HP+ pads for the front IMO. If you can convert to rear discs for that price I think it would be a no brainer. I'm not sure how that would affect your brake bias though.

    Not with new pads and rotors you can't. $150 is usually for used and worn parts. Check the rs forums because you may never know.

    There was a setup for sale on Nasioc, $200 shipped. New stuff. Lemme see if I can find it.


    What's everyone else think about the HP+ pads?

    Depends what you want to do.... unless you don't do mountain runs or autox *often* I wouldn't get them simply because of the expense and squeel whenever you come to a stop.

    But, if you need a performance brake pad, they are the way to go.

    Yea the HP+'s are notorious for being loud, that's why I'd stick with the regular HP's unless you are doing very aggressive/competition driving regularly.
