IMO rear disc brake conversions are not really worth it. 70% of your stopping power is the front brakes. I did this years ago on a 91 mustang GT and didn't notice any improvement. I do agree that disc brakes are less complicated than drum and probably cheaper to. make, thus this is the real reason all manufacturers are now going 4 wheel disc on vehicles. Also a marketing plus.
