That's so cool! Looks like a VW IRS trailing arm for the rear. As light as that's going to end up I don't think discs up front will be much of an improvement. My sand rail would lock the front wheels up regularly with stock VW drums up front. It was 1000 Lbs. soaking wet (most of it over the back wheels). I could pick the front end up enough to scoot it around if I needed to with the stock steel wheels and plywood floor.
