Default Rear disc brake swap 94 accord

Hi,
Just curious on how involved it would be to convert my rear drum brakes to disc brakes on my 1994 honda accord coupe. If anyone has any idea's, or comments on if this is even worth it, please let me know

Its probably not worth it.

You would definitely need a caliper, brake pads, rotor. The knuckle/hub from an EX from a junkyard, I think.

I'm not sure if the e-brake or the hydraulic lines are the same between the EX vs the LX/DX. You would have to go to a parts web site and see what part numbers are the identical between your accord and the EX accord to eliminate the parts you would need to buy.

I think the wheelbearing/hub is the same, but the knuckle is different. Probably the spindle is different.
I'm pretty sure the handbrake cables and the hydraulic tubes are different.
If you're lucky the suspension control arms are the same??
If you have ABS, the wheel-sensors might be different?
