RE: Rear disc conv.

[Gary Huff <ghuff@htech.com>]

Better braking can be achieved without going to rear disc. Just get some
decent pads, rotors, fluid :) Correct me if I am wrong, but on cars as small
as ours, it wont make too much of a difference going to bigger brakes and
rear discs unless you need to stop a 200hp scirocco? I drove an 8v car with
super blue fluid, stainless lines, decent pads, and crossdrilled rotors. It
stopped 10x better than my 16v car, and the pedal was firm :) Any other
ideas or anything? or if I am completely wrong someone correct me. Thanks,
	Gary Huff

  i've been asking around about this and the price i've found to be most
consistent is $150. i don't know how hard it would be or anything like
that, but i too are interested in the better braking.
