chas;

My intent is not necessarily to give you a "kick in the pants", just to straighten out your misimpression in no uncertain terms...disc rears are not going to improve your brakes, and by the way, problably neither is putting in those new pads you found in the tirewell!

My advice: Check out, adjust your brakes, and repair as required to bring them to a good original working condition...in the mean time, cut out the (right) leg press at the gym...your car will take its place!

Live with the car for a while...it'll probably grow on ya...ask anyone around here!...at least it wont pinch your cheek and give you a purple herbie, like the real Aunt Phyllis. If after a while, you still cant get happy with the brakes, post again...I think there are some Brickboarders around here who have installed assist units of other manufatuerers who can help you further (whimp!).

You might want to check out the SwEm site for more useful info/kicks in the pants/wise-a** comments etc. (www.intelab.com/swem)

Cheers
