Yes, it is possible, city idsi, GD model,
the higher variant for the city of the same year as yours (city GD vtec),
have rear brake discs, hanap ka nalang ng binibentang rear brake
assembly nun and more on salpak salpak nalang.
nahihinaan ka sa brakes ng city mo?
ako i also have a GD model, jazz nga lang, and for me,
ang lakas n ng preno nun.Last edited by 7138; February 11th, 2014 at 06:09 PM.

Cost cutting lang ang only reason why some cars get drums instead of discs in the back. Kung same model usually simple swap lang yan. I think kelangan rin palitan ang proportioning valve. Make sure that it comes with uncut hand brake cables.
If you need better braking power upgrade the front brakes na lang by using bigger calipers and rotors from the same model.
