Default This or GSR/SI brake swap?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1
I was gonna just buy a gsr/si rear disc setup for my 92 cx, but would this be better?
(I plan to put the FastBrakes 4 piston upgrade kit on my fronts, btw)....
All opinions welcome....

thats a nice kit, but since the front brakes absorb 80% of the braking force i think a simple rear disk conversion will do and then do the fronts with big brakes,

also i think you need the whole trailing arm to do the conversion in the rear and he is not selling the trailing arms.

i see you live in LA, i know where to get gsr brakes right now and pretty cheap.

You don't really need the trailing arms to do the conversion, it can be done with what is listed in the ebay auction. I'd say go for it.

it's a nice kit and for the price it is a good buy. Most of the braking IS done in the front of the car but it is nice to have disks in the front. I have emailed fastbrakes before and he does not recommend upgrading the rear before the front so i say get this set but don't put it on until you have front upgrade to go on at the same time. later

Yeah, I was definitely gonna wait to upgrade all my brakes at the same time (and if anything, the fronts first). Thanks for the replies...keep 'em coming.
