The attached link is a how to for converting a twist beam celica to rear disks. Should be identical for the vibe.

wow that way doesnt seem toooo hard. just time consuming. I wonder if using a vibe GT's brake kit/used brake parts would be the easiest though. thanks for that link! should help anyone that wants to try.

i did thison my old zx2. The rear disk on the 96 escort gt will fit the zx2 so i swapped my zx2 drums for the EGt rear disk and walla, 4 wheel disk brakes on a ford zx2. i loved the difference in stoping power. only paid $50 for the parts from a salvage yard and then spent a little ectra on new rotors and pads. I will try this to see waht it does to my base vibe. just goto find cheap parts.
