Nope. I didn't want rear disc brakes because of any sense of "bling bling". I wanted additional braking capability....IN THE REAR. I tow trailers. Heavy trailers (1500 pounds empty, and as much as 2900 fully loaded) and I want to be able to do stop with confidence (I already know my engine, an EG-33 Subaru engine, has the capacity). Disc brakes are also a LOT easier to replace the pads on then drums. I'm sick and tired of drums. None of my other cars have them. |
