I want to upgrade our braking performance, but I don't want to go into the expense of upgrading to disc brakes on the rears.

Is there a written description of the braking system upgrade with the 80 mm calipers and oversized wheel cylinders? What are the parts involved, including part numbers and sources?

Is the carbon / metallic brake lining considered to be the best choice? Again, part numbers and sources?

Thanks for any guidance.
