Leon;

I dispute your original premise in the first place...that the the rear drum brakes have "poor performance"...in the first place, the fronts, which are big disks, do 80% of the braking work...and that, they do very well indeed...the 20% the rears are left with, they are perfectly adequite for!

We've gone through it, at length, all before...the biggest improvement discs in the rear buy you is ease of maintenance...that's it!...but IMO that's a hellova lot of work to do so you have to change pads instead of shoes!...not to mention having different bolt circles after that...I suggest you exercise the search function...

Cheers
