Re: Rear brake question?

There are a couple of board memebers that make rear brake disc kits.I would start there. I can tell you a company NOT to use... Master Power Brake, they're jerks. PM me if you want the low down. If you're not looking for the " look" of rear discs, or if you're running a closed wheel, Praise Dino Brake makes a rear drum upgrade that outperforms my rear discs. They use a bigger drum, bigger wheel cylinders and bigger shoes. I think the kit cost me 4-$500.
They have excellent communications and back up their products. Good luck
