You'll gain 2-3 feet quicker stopping distances with rear discs versus a drum setup, but the only real benefit of rear discs is that they fade a whole shitload less than a drum setup. So unless you're tracking the car and really pushing the limits, it's kind of a waste IMO.
But that's just me.
I've bled it so many times, never fixed it. Drums are also starting to make funny noises. I've driven the car hard enough many times to get the brakes fading, it really doesn't take much. Happened at auto-x too. I'm really after the feel though, hopefully it'll do that much. I've noticed that most 4 wheel disc cars I've driven have better brake feel than rear drum cars. :dunno: We'll see in a couple weeks.
