hey guys, how much difference would it be from an ek1? i'm just seeing if it justifiable in upgrading from drums to disc, if i do decide in getting one, how much would i be looking at and what parts are needed?
thanks

fronts;
knuckles(including hub)
rotors
calipers w/brackets
pads
maybe brake lines not sure if the ek1 lines were bolt on or not

rear;
rear trailing arm(including hub)
rotors
calipers w/brackets
pads
brake lines
handbrake cables

should be about it i think

around the $500odd mark as a guess
i sold my old ek4 setup for about $450 without handbrake cable and no brake lines

just occured to me you might also need:
40/40 prop valve(if going from drums)
possibly bigger brake booster/master cylinder too
