My two cents to throw in...
In many cases, drum brakes are a little lighter (good for drag racing)...
but disc brakes experience less brake fade w/repeated use (as compared to
drums)...
Disc brakes are a little easier to service, too...

Subject: Re: DML:Rear brake conversion
Uhhhh...those were retail pricing, not cost. Mopar dealer cost isn't much
different at all.
As it stand...are rear disc brakes worth it? Some say yes, others say no.
Personally, i've driven in vehicle with either configuration and the rear
discs definitely help out on sudden or extreme braking conditions.
I guess this debate could go on into unforseeable future...kinda like the
age old question: "Which came first...the chicken or the egg". ;)
