Has anyone upgraded the rear drums to disc brakes?
I was wondering if anyone has upgraded the stock rear drums to discs brakes? If so please post your impressions!

RunnerUp has done the APO Disc Brake Conversion on the rear. Might want to PM him and get his take on it.

I've heard it's costly for a minimal amt of increase in braking...but again, I have not done this conversion. I've just heard that from others who have had this done.

There was a lot of stink going on about doing this. I think it going to be your call. It seems some say it is great others say ehhh. I agree it is a lot of work with minimal results. Keep in mind rear brakes only do about 30-40% of the braking. I would concentrate on the front instead.
