Brake Upgrades...
#5
do you mean upgrades for the rear discs that come stock or swapping to rear discs?

upgrades for the rear are not really needed if you already have discs.
about the only you need out back is a new set of pads and SS lines which come with the kit. the rear rotors do take a huge amount of heat so going with the stockers is a cheap and effective option.

if you have rear discs and want a bigger rotor, you have 2 options really.
TCE makes a 11.75" rear disc upgrade that consists of a braket, rotor and custom hat and all the hardware to install it.
the other option is going to SVT rotors and while i am not 100% sure on this, it requires the SVT rotors and SVT caliper bracket/carrier and should bolt up to the stock hub bracket without issue.

if you don't have rear discs yet, your best bet is upgrading to SVT rear brakes. http://www.svtsalvage.com and a few other places have become the best places to source such parts. just remember brake work together so if you up grade the size and braking power of the rear it will change how the car brakes, possibly in a bad way. so always upgrade the fronts first or do it both at the same time.
