   Discs are only on VTR/VTS axles if I remembly correctly so yes you will need a full rear axle for discs.

   I think you might be making a lot of work for yuor self, the rear brakes do very little, especially on a short wheelbase, llight weight car such as our saxo's. Look into getting some decent pads for the front and give the rear brakes a service.
