   Just wondered if some1 could let me know if I can just straight swop drum brakes for calipers, or do I have to change the whole rear end.
   Many thanks in advance

   Its not a case of just drums to calipers its the whole hub itself, brake lines handbrake cables and pads disks etc.

   Keep the drums. Much easier and tbh perfectly fine for a Saxo.

   Drums more efficient?!
   Maybe only in cost
   On the rear though well adjusted drums are adequate
