I know these cars came with rear discs from factory, but unfortunately not in my DX. so it should be as simple as buying oem rotors and calipers from rockauto or junkyard? pull the drums off the hubs then just put the correct parts in?

I am nearly certain that the hubs are different. You could get the hubs with the brake disks and calipers from the JY and install those. BUT... If your car has drums is probably doesn't have the rear swaybar. You can upgrade both at once.
Get the whole rear subframe from an EX including the rear swaybar. The EX subframe will have the right hubs and calipers, and it will have the swaybar mounting brackets, and the hardware for the swaybar on the trailing arms. When you replace the rear subframe, you get rear disks and all the bits needed for that, and the swaybar. While you've got it but before you install it, I suggest also replacing all the bushings. New bushings, even just new rubber bushings make a car ride like new again.
I don't remember if the parking brake cables are different for the disks. Does someone else remember whether you need to change the parking brake cable when you do the disk upgrade?==========================
