Re: is it possible
or look in the tech section on the home page, there is an article about swapping 4th gen rear dics to a drum axle. I did it years back and it was pretty easy, you have to take the axles out to do, but it just involves cutting the axle flange a little to fit the backing plate, drilling a couple holes and its all bolts up. and it can be done for under 200 bux.
