U can certainly get cheaper!

Look at the guides link on the homepage.

not worth it on front wheel drive cars they make up 10% of the total breaking force dont bother unless its just for show

thought it was 30%back and 70% front (why would they put rear disks on cars such as Astra Gte 16v, Cav Gsi etc.....etc??).

You have to use the rear disks with the ATe front calipers or better.

i speak for myself but i say that my car braked horrible with just the 256 brakes on the front, the front end dived about all over the place and was unsafe

with the rear discs i found the back end was pulled down level and it made it much safer

dont listen to people that havent done the mod, listen to the people that have

I've driven with both in anger on track, and I'd say there is no difference in overall performance except I nearly had an arse overtaking front moment braking in a straight line hard with the rear disc equiped car. More important is to have good front brakes and the best possible suspension to cope with weight transfers back to front, preferably adjustables. Bigger cars such as Cav GSi's def need em coz they weigh twice as much as a Nova and require more braking force overall. My Cav Gsi was noticably better when I replaced the back shagged pads with new ones.
