If you are concerned with rear disks on a spit, check out Grassroots in the
next few months.  I know they are fitting a Wildwood system to the rear of
the car.  Then again the car just got a full IRS in the rear on NewYears eve
(read:  really hard core car junkies...).  In the Feb. 2000 issue they show
the conversion to front wildwood brakes--a beautiful system.  More power and
much lighter.  Jealous?  yes....

As to why you would want new rear brakes, i am not absolutely certain.  with
a good set of pads, i am able to lock up the brakes all around on my spit
and i haven't even done the GT6 conversion.  Unless i go roadracing, i don't
feel that there would be a need to convert to disks or even bigger front
brakes.
