If you have a car with 2 rear drum brakes can a person upgrade them to disk brakes? If so how much do they cost.

yes, it can be done, but costs depend on how much you can do yourself, 400 to 1000, actually a waste of money without ABS :)

Both types work well. Skids are the result of using too much brake. It can and will happen no matter which type of brake the bike is fitted with. It is totally rider dependent. Many people prefer disc brakes because they can be more effective. I prefer a disc brake on the front and a drum brake on the rear. Those who skid the rear tire need to learn to use the front brake more, and the rear a little less. Edit: Go back to the video games, flight lieutenant. Drum rear brakes are rod-actuated. There is no cable to stretch.

there is a kit out that you can switch them from drums to disk...very expensive...not worth it..you need most times new rear end, another brake booster etc etc...i did it to a 69 camero...2500 bucks just for the rear brakes only...i'll ask this, why would you want to change them over??drums are least expensive and last longer then disk!

Yes it can be done. Question is why? Unless you spend a lot of your time at Road Atlanta or Mid Ohio Sports Car Course you will see no real-world benefit but considerable expense from such a conversion.

Yes you can do it to most cars. Contact your local shop and have them price it out as kit can vary so much from car to car and place to place. See 500 to 7000 dollar system so it depends on what you want.If your good with car this can be do on a weekend so get in touch with your parts place , grab some beer and get the buddy over. Have fun Good luck hope I helped

Yes it can be done, go buy any edition of Hot Rod magazine
and there are advertisements all over in them from various companies willing to take your money to buy a conversion kit.
Good luck.
