But when the rears aren't working at all, then it's hard for them to help, lol. At least discs have less moving parts.


Well yes, then you might as well upgrade if its feasable. lol

About half way down he does a conversion with Riviera parts. Retains the stock e-brake cable too. I know you wanted to stay away from rid parts but those old callipers, pad, rotors can be had easily at rockauto. Just need to source a rear knuckle... I don't know what other car shares that knuckle, but there must be someone out there that knows.

Haven't heard of any road tests yet but something maybe worth looking into as an option.
