Well, you could always set the balance right. But you
might find that the balance is so light on the rears
that the discs are useless.
The main advantage to discs is that they don't fade
from heat. Very important in the front since they do
most of the stopping and get really hot. But with such
a light car and in the back, you might be hard pressed
to make a case that your back brake fade is really cutting
into your lap times.
I have all wheel discs in my Toyota, and they are nice,
but they are more complex than discs. A lot of this is
because the back brakes are both discs and drums, the
drums being the handbrake. These units are complex and
from what I hear often have serious corrosion problems.
How do four-wheel-disc midgets handle the handbrake issue?
