GT models have four wheel vented disk brakes or am I missing something, or am I just plain wrong. 'preciate it.

Hey man don't worry, you can do a drum --> disc conversion, I gotta do this eventually. Check the how-to articles, someone did a write up on their conversion. It really shouldn't be a necesity unless you have alota horsepower or your car somehow gained 1000lbs. Bigger drilled/sloted rotors and carbon metalic pads in the front should be sufficient untill you start going high horsepower. Drums aren't great but they will do, Ferrari's raced with drum breaks for the longest time back in the 60's which shows you they can work in high speed applications, not as well but better than nothing. Discs sure look alot better with rims though.... cwm13.gif
