So who is going to do this first and verify that it works?

The only thing is that the spoon fit only has 125hp, so it might be a good idea to get the rear disks, IF you plan to turbo the car or supercharge it. THATS what I want!

why? brakes dont become different depending on how fast your car gets up to; it will be the same...

if your car reaches 100 mph in 5 secs or 25 secs, the braking power at 100 mph will still be the same...

just good front pads and rear shoes will be fine...

I think it will help for better pedal feel and braking on the track...

Just bear in mind that although the Spoon car has rear drums, it weighs next to nothing.

The Bean counters probably wanted to ensure the Fit was going to be as profitable as possible for the car maker and it was probably due to the face lift and (would the term be....butt lift?) for the USDM market that axed the rear discs.

New tooling for different lights, fenders, hood, bumpers, radiator support and rebars tend to suck.
