Default from drum to brake disc

looking to change my rear drums to disc on my 94 dx. a couple of my buddys told me what id need but not sure if theres other little things i may miss. any idea around how much it would cost, and how long it would take? thanks in advance.

I'm in the process of this on my 97 at the moment.

If you are new to working with your brakes/suspension I would allow for maybe two or three days because of difficulty to remove some bolts and the e-brake cable plus if you break a bolt you will have to order one and wait for it to get to you before you can drive your car again.

The cost depends on how good your are at low balling people and how good you are at things mechanically.
You can save a bunch of money buy rebuilding the calipers instead of buying reman. ones.

Here's a link to mine I did last Fall: https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_498529/tm.htm

These are all links I found very useful...

If you have ANY questions, post 'em here or on my thread, or PM me. Roto also knows a lot about the conversion.
