Brake rotor question
 
So i have an 05' accord with rotors on the front brakes, but brake drums on the rear. Can i buy rotors for the rear and have them swapped? the brake drums are pretty ugly

You can change your Accord over to four disc brakes but it will require a lot of new parts, not just the rotors

Find a 2005 Accord EX in a junkyard & pick up most of the rear suspension.

Not sure, but you might have to grab the brake proportioning valve.

if you had a 90-97 Id have you set...but like Jim said go to a junk yard or pick n pull and find your gen and get the WHOLE rear set up off the car.

Basically you need EX spindles, hubs, rotors, calipers and ebrake cables. The proportioning valve is optional. The valve would be the correct way to do the swap, but it is functional with the drum proportioning valve.

i did not think changing brakes would be that involved. haha, do you guys think it would look stupid if i paint the front calipers like blue or red or something, and just leave the rear brake drums as is?

I'm not a mechanic but know someone who's pretty handy with cars and he did the swap your talking about. He told me it was a real P.I.T.A. he said half way through it he was like "why the hell did I start this" Personally I wouldn't paint the fronts only but that's just personal preference. If anything wouldn't you want to dress up the back? Not sure if that could be done.
