Nope. I didn't want rear disc brakes because of any sense of "bling
bling". I wanted additional braking capability....IN THE REAR.  I tow
trailers. Heavy trailers (1500 pounds empty, and as much as 2900 fully
loaded)  and I want to be able to do  stop with confidence (I already
know my engine, an EG-33 Subaru engine,  has the capacity).

Disc brakes are also a LOT easier to replace the pads on then drums.
I'm sick and tired of drums. None of my other cars have them.
