That's a problem you'd have to fix by adjusting the suspension,
isn't it? I don't see how having discs in the rear would cause any
less nose dive... ? Maybe even more, what with those heavy drums out
of there and all of that extra braking power to lock up the rears and
make the fronts do all the work. ;-)
Also, wouldn't it look kind've silly to have slotted rotors in the
rear and the solid stock ones in the front? Seems like you'd have to
get slotted rotors for the front too, to balance things out.
