It won't look too bad, I have seen it before. A disc system for the rear will probably cost ya quite a penny.
You can always paint the drums black, their factory color, and the front red. I can see pimpness there.

It is going to be expensive.. there are people who swap brake kits from integras but you will then need to set the balance control because they weigh different... some brake kits are well over a thousand dollars.

well the balancing shouldnt be to much of a problem.... they sell brake proportioning valves so you can tweak your pressure.

The whole thing basically just isnt worth it when you could spend that money on something so much better!

everyones got thier own style..
BUT personaly.... i think the only time to paint the calipers anything BUT black is if they are upgraded to a big brakes setup!
anything less just isnt worth making them stick out... but thats my opinion....
just remember how ever YOU do it.... make sure YOU LIKE IT.... we could tell ya how to do it all day long.... but we dont drive or look at your car all the time so our opinions realy dont matter if you dont like it...
but you also gotta remember... ITS JUST PAINT... you can always redue them or change up the color
