Posible?
Is it possible to convert my rear drum breaks to disks? If so, is it even worth the hassle?

Re: Posible?
Yes and yes. I'll be damned if I ever buy a car with a shitty brake setup again. The Cavy has rediculous brakes, tiny ass disks up front and drums in the back... obviously it brakes like a damn pumpkin. The Talon, however, has 2g AWD big brakes up front and normal sized disks in the rear. I love that car, I can speed up and slow down at like 4x the rate of the Cavy, those all wheel disks and big brake upgrades reaaaaallly help.

Re: Posible?
I just upgraded mine to gsx brakes and they are F*CKIN awesome. I haven't even tested them out yet but the times I have hit them hard they stop HARD! I highly recommend this to everyone. Stopping is just as important if not more than performance.

Re: Posible?
The best bang for the buck will be to upgrade the front brakes since they do ~75% of all the stopping. Really the only major advantage of rear disks are they look alot better.

Re: Posible?
i was planning on upgrading the front disks, but i have heard a lot of good news about the GSX break upgrade so i might look into that... is it difficult to convert the rear drums to disks, i guess i am asking what i would need and a price range.....
