I've got a 90 and a 93 sho, I'm swapping the drivetrain/struts from the 90 to the 93. Is it worth it to change the rear brakes over to vented?

I know exactly what I have to change, but there's a mixed opinion on whether the swap actually inproves performance. Is it even worth my time?

half-way there, I think.
I did this on my 95. But I track the car from time to time, so there is a benefit to having vented rotors on the rear to aid in cooling. On a daily driver I personally wouldn't bother.

If you have the parts, all it's gonna cost you is time. I vote to do it.

I say yes.....but I drive very aggressively. I warped a new set of solid rears (and not the cheap steel Autozone Japan/China/Korea/Mexico units) just trying to heat cycle them and bed the new pads.:thumb:
