[Shotimes] Interesting Rear Brake Upgrade

[Ron Porter]

The original setup, done by Glen Murdock on his '97, IIRC, was done for
cosmetic reasons. he had Cobra brakes on the front with 17" wheels, and the
tiny rear brakes looked silly.

According to what I have been led to believe, 80% of the stopping force is
on the front brakes.  I would think that adding larger rear rotors would not
help decrease the stopping distance at all.  In fact, I think that they
would be a problem to balance the front/rear bias to keep the rears from
loking up on a hard stop.
Besides... the parts look like they are made from cold rolled steel,
something that would not give me a warm fuzzy feeling. I would prefer having
a nice solid casting.

Found this on E-Bay. Has anyone upgraded their rear brakes with this option?
