A lot of opinions. Go ahead, do it. You know you want to. Let me know how it works out. Insert gorilla grunting noises here.

Subject: [VANAGON] Thoughts on the coming rear disc brakes from GW?

Hi folks,

        I just read in the Go Westy sales email that they are working on a rear disc break.  

for the vanagon,Would rear disc breaks improve breaking noticeably?  I’ve always heard the most braking is in the front?

As I don’t plan to upgrade wheels from my 14  inch soon, Assuming these fit with my wheels might this be a worthwhile safety upgrade?
