The Van Cafe big brake kit has everything you need, new bearings, everything, You won't have to use those stupid studs anymore, you will have a new hub with regular lugs, vented disks, big Audi calipers, but you will need at least 15" wheels and you can do it yourself. I think it was about $750 but it's easy to find on Van Cafe, or if not in a hurry, wait for a sale, I think their kit is the best of the group.
I think Small Car has the kit for rear disks, they may be the only ones that make a bracket you need and would't sell it without the kit. I'm not a road racer so haven't needed the rear disk set up. The first thing I did after buying this and driving home from Phoenix was put the front brake kit on, I didn't like the way it slowed down. Next came the Subaru.
Same with Dave, he put the brakes on first.
