Come on John,
I think you need to say why you need rear disks on a Spridget.
A Porsche 911 is a 165mph motorcar with enormous tyres and weighs more than a
Spridget.
It is not correct the discs are on the rear to balance the brakes - a bias
valve does that. Modern Porsches have ABS as well and yes I have driven one
at over 150mph and braked down (though not to a standstill) from that speed.

had the driver take his hands off the sterring wheel while hitting the
brakes
(hard - as in lock up), but find the car stopped with no fade, squeel,
wander
or even tire sound, then you'd be looking at it's brake design! I will be
answering the question of "how to" on a Mazda rear end (per Rob's question)
as soon as I can work it up.
