Re: disk conversion
Something that worries me, how is the braking force of the front axle vs the rear axle affected by the conversion from drum to disc in the rear?
If now the rear axle will brake harder with the same brake pressure as before, then during hard braking the rear wheels are more likely to lock up with the front wheels still having a lot more force to go before breaking free. This does not make for a safe or effective braking situation.
Or is it the same as before?

This is why you also replace the proportioning valve from a honda/acura that has rear disks, this will properly spread out the braking force.
