I dont think anybody makes performance drums, most performance cars usually have disc all around.

i really don't see a need for peformance drums anyways. the rear brakes only do a fraction of the braking compared to the rear. most of the peforamcne disc kits for the rear made for cars today are pretty much just made to match the fronts...

On most cars, its usually about 70% front brakes and 30% rear brakes. It shouldnt be too complicated to get junkyard parts and do a conversion from drum to disc

you can convert the rear drums into rotors for a slightly better performance but as for aftermarket companies making enlarged rotors, calipers, pads, nope no one.

for 7th gen, no. There are no performance brakes like six piston calipers with 16 inch cross drilled slotted rotors and high performance pads.
