Stock rears are very simple to work on if you use the Bentley as a reference. If you don't, people put them back together wrong.

Yes, rear discs have less parts and less chance of putting them together wrong.

Not sure if this is a viable selling point when you are talking about spending hundreds of dollars to convert, versus the much cheaper stock rear drums. They would have to change themselves for me to spend that money. Unless I had a Subaru SVX with twin turbos. Then you need all the stopping you can get. 😀
