The Spoon fit still uses drums, as well as the FASTEST Solo FWD in the US still uses drums.

SHG_Mike, I like the rear discs because IMHO it is easier to swap out the break pads, from daily to track pads. As for the Spoon Fit, I know they use the vented drums and they cost about $650 (sorry I can remember how much it really is or the part number). Since it cost that much, and all it is really is adding vents, I would rather get the rear disk.
P.S You are right with all your breaking power is at the front, and it cant hurt to have more breaking power to the rear to promote a bit more oversteer (or least in theory).
