I don't understand the reason for a rear disk brake converson for the rear,
especially on a Spridget. The front end takes what, 75-80% of the braking
pressure? Seems to me like it would be money spent that could be used on a
more crucial modification. Of course, it allows the owner to stick his
thumbs in his lapel, rare back, and announce to all listeners, "An she's got
full 4-wheel disk brakes!"
Maybe for racing, but even there, I would wonder if rear disks would be as
crucial as larger front disks and/or the cross-drilled disks. Maybe WST,
Keith Turk or one of the other racers will enlighten us on that.
