[T3] question on rear disc brakes continued...

hello all,


 Thank your for the quick responses to my original
question, but I think that my question got a little
misunderstood; let me try to be clearer here.  
  I asked about this since I am thinking about putting
on rear disc brakes on the square when I get to it.  I
have thought long and hard about it but my reasons are
more for safety than for "bragging rites" since I will
be using the stock motor once I rebuild it. 
  When I had my 1302 beetle the dang thing had drum
brakes on all four corners and I absolutely hated
them.  Adaquate yes, antiquated, you better believe
it. As time went by and I eventually went through a
few cars over the years and one of them was an suv
with disc brakes on all four wheels.  I tell you I had
never felt safer in my entire life than when I had
that.  
  Now my brother's new beetle has disc brakes on all
four wheels, and believe me, you stop when that pedal
is pressed on.  I desire the same effect for my
square, or at least as close as I can get to it where
the technology is in that car.  I personally feel that
stopping is far more important that moving.  To that
end was the main reason for asking what everyone
thought about it.  
  Another thought that no one really answered was if
the cb performance rear discs fits onto our cars. I
was hoping that someone on this list has done this so
that I could ask for some do/don'ts with this
procedure.  They say it'll fit onto any irs setup but
that is usually meaning the beetle since that car has
all of its parts still on the shelf for most years.
  Still though, thanks for the comments on this. I
absolutely love this list when it comes to info. :-)
