rear disc brakes vs rear drums

The real question is how hard are you gonna drive the car? Unless you're pushing your car to it's limits, you won't see any real benefit from rear disc brakes. Now before you go thinking that all the manufacturers are using 4 wheel discs because they're better, understand that for the most part it's being done because of demand by a public that percieves it as being better and safer. If this is a DD or a cruiser, stick with the drums.

Unless of course you take Watkins Glen or Mulholland Drive to work everyday.....
