Rear disc swap on a 5g?

RE: Rear disc swap on a 5g?
The cost depends on how cheap your local junkyard is. I would imagine $500 would be all I would give- these parts get thrown out and crushed every day- they're not highly sought after items.
I got knuckles, calipers, rotors, padsand all the hardware for $100 shipped off the forums. Then I paid $100 for some SS brake lines (I did all 4 corners, so it would've only been $50 for the rears)- plus $50 for new pads, and $125 for new rotors (I could've reused the pads/rotors, but I wanted to upgrade while it was apart). I also did KYB GR2 struts, coilovers, and all the BMR arms at the same time- but that was just because I wanted to, and wasn't related to the swap.

Its too hard to tell- I did too many other suspension mods at the same time. Trying to concentrate on just them, and the effects struts would have- I would say they feel very similar to new-stock struts. If they are more aggressive, then it is only a very small amount more.
