   hi on my saxo 1.1i 98 the rear brakes are drum brakes and i was wondering if it was possible to swap them for disc brakes or get better new drum brakes
   
   cheers

   you can put a vtr/vts rear beam on your 1.1
   that would put the rear discs on
   
   but theres not much point tbh
   id upgrade the fronts the rears only do a small amoount of braking
   some vtr brakes or even 266s would be a huuuuge improvement

   Leave the rears not worth the hassle.
   Fit a set of vtr/vts front calipers along with a bigger master cylinder will improve the breaking by a mile.
