Interesting. The reason that I want to install discs on my BGT is
because after a few laps, the drums wear enough that I have to pump
the brakes a couple times every time I need to brake to keep the pedal
from sinking halfway to the floor. And I already have braided steel
lines. 

My hope was that with discs, the brakes would automatically adjust
themselves and I wouldn't have to do the three pump tap dance every
time I needed to slow down.

What disc brake system are you using?

What wheel and tire? I was running Kumho 195-60-14 on Minitors. I want
to shift to 15s so I can use the same tires as my spec miata.
