Excellent thread.

I used to be one of those that bought into the hype of 4 wheel discs. I still believe they do belong on the front as they do provide better braking, particularly in hilly areas where heat build up becomes a factor.

At the rear, I'll take drums any day since rear brakes do little in normal driving. Also, changing the pads on rears can be a PITA due to the ebrake. I still have a big C clamp that I bent trying to push the piston back on my old supra. Read the manual afterwards to discover they were screw in.

Also, rear drums last pretty much forever.
