Subject:Re: Need rear brake backing plates (now rear Discs?)

I just spent 7 days there having he and Eric do my Subie 3.0 conversion. I
watched Burley
fabricate numerous parts that he produces and markets and know first hand
the quality work
he does, the meticulous care he puts into his fabrications. Eric already has
years of experience
with rear discs and between he and Burley have come up with what I think is
a great rear
brake conversion. I don't see how you can go wrong.

I would have done this but just got through putting on Heavy Duty rear drums
and new
BD brake shoes and my brakes are stellar ... Eric even commented how good
the braking
performance of my van is now. I've got BB kit up front so I'm good to go for
quite awhile.

Just my $0.02 ;-)
