Why? Disc front and drum rears works wonderful and is easy / cheap so why?
If your roadrace at a track well then you need it but otherwise it is just not needed Keep that cash in your pocket!

Cass is great and great service too. I too have done the all drum to disk / drum conversion and unless you are punishing your brakes with road racing or 140 mph blasts down the quarter mile with a short shut off area, a stock well maintained system with ceramic pads and shoes is all you really need. Save your money... JMHO
