Rear disk brake conversion kit

I have a buddy who just did the conversion. He said it cost him $500 cnd. and he also said it was worth it.
i dont know why you would want to convert your4 rear drums, when my front disks get full of water and slush or even ice i cant stop worth ****, the only thing that never fails is the rear drum just replace your seals if you need to and keep it adjusted.
keep your rear once you have fronts converted you will only need them for a parking brake, look on ebay Quadrax is the best buy of ebay good quality and reasonable price compared to Highlifter or even the same Quadrax kit from Royal. Super ATV is crap through reasearch i found that the quality isn't their you will have to rebuild the calipers after a short time of heavy use
