looks good if you have nice big alloys

only do it if you have up rated you front disks / calipers

good reasons
Look the dogs
excellent braking

Bad Points
If not set up rite can have the rear end lockin up too easy and overtakin the front in heavy brakin situations. I would do it if I had the mechanical knowledge.

Looks good and nothing else
std drums are easily upto stoping a 2.0 16v etc

only have rear disks if u have a fat bird(s) or a very large ice install


16v Nova - Toolkit, Trouble, Points and great expence all come as standard :)

the dont just look good the look frigging good

the word on the street was my white nova was a valver, all becuase sum numpty spotted the rear discs and thought "woooagh rear discs it must be a valver" lol

i say fit em u cant argue with the extra braking power, ste is only saying that coz his valver doesnt have them ;)
