I want the looks of the 4 wheel disc brakes. It should improve stopping power a little bit more, but you're right, probably not enough to notice. Still... It would look nice that way.

i agree with dakotastone and virused of all people you should now that those of us that actually whhel are daks need good brakes all the way around. but heres the thing, i do both, wheel and race, so for me drums are fine for everyday drivin and streetin but once the pavement ends since i have an auto i need good brakes i can trust in the rear and i dont get that with drums

The drum brakes are more than capable of stopping the dakotas efficeintly when combined with a nice rotor/pad combo up front. Any more power to the rear brakes and you will find yourself locking up the rear. Period.
