DIY rear disc

I am attempting to use a set of rear discs from an 88 integra mainly for style points. I considered using the 90+ rear discs from integras/civics however they have trailing arms and independent rear suspension. The advantage to the older setup is the integras have a solid rear axle like our fits. The rear brackets on both the fit drums and the integra discs bolt on with 4 bolts, I will compare later this week to see how comperable they are. 86-89 integras are redily available at most yards.(I will use all new hardware however) I know there are rear disc kits available for the hefty price tag of $800 and S.E. Asia had fits with rear disc factory however I'm looking for a lower cost easily attainable solution.
I wonder how I'm going to tackle the ABS question however I noticed that the kit(AJ'S Racing I think) doesn't show any hubs so I'd assume they use the stock hubs. Any imput would be appreciated.
I will take more pics as I go so hopefully put together some sort of how-to. I noticed that someone mentioned that we have 14,000 members and not too many people are posting tech articles, this is an introduction to mine.

Hi, I need your help, what is the size of your brake shoe? I am doing a comparison between yours and my asia spec Jazz.

I haven't heard this week from the shop, I have been meaning to call back. I've been looking into simply getting the honda rear spindles instead, it may be cheaper and of course just bolt on.

well in that case can you finish the caliper bracket that you started on and see if it's going to work or not.

It looks like fastbrakes makes a similar thing for this EG with rear drum
This looks like what might work on a Fit......basically

ps, I sent the message to said friend in S.E.Asia and I'll hear back this week about availability of rear spindles.

That isn't my car, that was a car from some honda magazine. I have stock shocks in the rear with an eibach pro kit. Fits have a solid rear axle with a coil spring and separate shock.
