I agree with you about the 5 speed, but what is the alure of the rear disks?
The way I see it, 70% of the stopping effort is done by the front brakes,
and the rear disks tend to have troublesome parking brake mechanisms (even
though I seldom use them, parking brakes are handy sometimes). Has Ford
produced a 4 bolt pattern in recent years?
