Unless you are going for silly front brakes it's not really worth the grief as the back brakes provide such a small amount of the cars overall braking.

Rear discs do look a lot less old compared to the old drum set up. If you are doing it mainly for looks go for it. If you are doing it to improve performance don't bother. It's not funny when your out for a thrash and the back wheels want to keep overtaking the front.

well .. just keep it balanced.. uprate the front first (rs2000, cossie4x4 or st170) and then the rear..
