For those of you that have a rear disc brake setup already but want the wide five setup to get the "look" it's possible to just change the disc part to get that setup for the rear brakes. I was down at a speedshop this weekend (Southern Cal Imports Inc.) and took the part # off the caliper from their wide five setup and low and behold it's the same caliper as the one on my car. My Speedster is running four wheel disc brakes and I've always wanted to take the moons off the wheels as it really does sport up the look of the car but the look is all wrong with the smaller bolt patern. I want to see what CB is going to use and then compare the two. Anyway, it's an interesting tid-bit of info.

Note that the SoCal units have screw in studs (not OK for racing), are heavy, and do not have replaceable rotors. CB Performance offers wide-five disk brake kits that have lighter hub/rotor assemblies with replaceable rotors, use press-in studs (OK for racing), and replacement rotors and caliper parts are available from your local NAPA auto parts store.
