So what about it? has anyone out there switched a GLH over to 60 mm calipers from a minivan either retaining the stock GLH 220 mm rear drums or gone to the unventilated rear discs like SLH2? If so what was it like compared to stock GLH? In the rain, braking in a turn, panic stops, anything anyone can contribute?

Anyone used minivan calipers on a Shadow/Sundance or Spirit/Acclaim?
minigts has stock brakes on the rear of his GLHS and 11" brakes on the front. Seems to work very well for him.
