Get back brakes????? You do have rear brakes already.....Its called drums......

If your fronts aren't doing their job, you should change your pads or inspect them. Even if you have disc brakes on the back, it won't help much because more than 80% of the stopping power is in the front.....

that and well, the drum brake system is a really good system. in theory, it does out peform the disc brake system. but yea, why doesn't your car have drum brakes on the front then? well cuz of the heat. since the braking surface is enclosed in the drum, heat gets to build up and well, that heat reduces ur braking capablities. its ok for the rear since they only do a lil bit of the braking but yea ur not gonna see a big difference from it and the disc brake system

Dude, I got GTZ rear calipers salvage, DBA x-Drilled & Slotted in a group buy a good while back, rear caliper bolts and e-brake hardware from the dealer and made the swap with a friend's help in less than hald a day. Total cost - less than $500. They work fine and they look great.
