No point doing it is my tip for the day.
Most of the braking is done by the front anyway and fitting rear discs will end up making your brakes feel worse.
There are ways around it,like fitting an in-line brake bias valve but its just not worth it in the long run.

How do you figure that? You have the ballache of fitting them, then the brake balance will go to shit, and even if you do get that sorted it wont stop you any quicker.
I had rear discs on my old corsa, waste of time unless you want it for the 'look'

You brake mainly up front so don't see the point really. Why not invest in better braking where it matters?
I've rear discs on the pug as standard. They do fuck all! Found that out when the piston seized up front and i had no braking on one side. It was dangerous! Car got took of the road for almost two weeks while pug got the parts. Work provided me with a Ford Connect so i didn't kill myself
