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

That's the direction I'm heading.

When (if?) my bank account recovers from the Subaru conversion, 5 speed
transaxle and Audi front brakes, I'm really looking forward to getting a set
of caliper mounts and hubs from Burley and going Audi in the back too.

His seems to be the most reasonable set of parts around....
