Jim,
Don't know if it's been mentioned on the list, but Stainless Steel
Brakes has their new rear disc kit out for the late model DAKS. Just
released about a month ago. Lists for $645. Simple bolt-on, no fab
required. I also ordered the optional slotted rotors to match the Power
Slots I'll be putting on the front. I'm anxiously waiting for the UPS
man to drop the kit on my porch. Hope to have it installed within a
couple of weeks.
