[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 614601, member: 13810"] I’m agreeing with 99% of that said above. Another reason for the rear disc setup on modern cars and to some extent on vans, is that initially it was a bit of a marketing and selling point but afterwards it’s mostly down to the facts that it’s cheaper to build cars this way with little variation on the floor pan and running gear and adopting a jelly mold approach. From new, there’s a lot less moving parts so much cheaper to manufacture and assemble than the menagerie that is rear drum brakes. It’s also because of this menagerie of parts that it’s not as easy to swap as mist would like. Plus not to overlook the adjustment and maintenance required with drums.
