pag all wheel discs kasi mas may preno kapa ng konti compared sa drum and disc combo after wading through floods. yung previous cars ko na disc n drum halos wala ng preno kahit bombahin mo after wadng thru floods samantalang pag all disc kahit papano may kapit pa. Easier to service din ang disc compared sa drum na kelangan pa ng mechanic hehehe. But since marami palang papalitan wag nalang siguro. Kala ko kasi may direct bolt on replacement lang

That really shouldn't be the case if your front brakes are disc. Remember that the braking power ratio is about 75-80% front and 25-20% rear. Unless your model or same platform vehicle was made with a disc there really won't be any direct bolt on rear brakes. Even with a donor vehicle you'll still need to open your diff and pull your axle shaft to change to a disc. A front drive vehicle would be easier to convert the rear than a rear drive.

Here is a link to a conversion for a Ford Explorer 4x4 to give you an idea of what needs to be done.
