Dave K, LIke MIke Miller says...benT. Go to: http://hometown.aol.com/bentbtstr8/vanagoncafereardiscbrakeproject.html I have not updated the site in a while but you should be able to get he gist of the project. Have since settled on an RX7 Turbo rear caliper w/ parking brakes. Will update the site soon as I get the adapter made. Don't try this at home, kids. Any brake work shoud be performed by an automotive professional familiar with brakes. For offroad use only. End of my disclaimer.
