My other cars have rear disc.   This car is going back pretty much stock.  No Bilsteins, no TTi's, no EFI......just a boring old yellow Barracuda with white interior.  :thumbsup:

As one that likes to trail-brake, I will feel a little more confident and more consistent running rear discs. I've never cared for drums in applications other than parking brakes or econo cars.  :icon16:

...not to say you can't race when them, I just prefer not to if I can help it.
You can tail brake quite effectively with the stock drums.  :grinyes: They don't do enough work to heat up and fade.
