Its more like 70-30%. And drums are fine if they are working properly. check condition of ur drums/pads and did u use ceramic pads? that could be why if u did. If u upgrade to 5 lug ull get bigger rotors/ calipers

get a strange engineering rear disc brake conversion kit. It says it will bring the stock stopping distance of 60mph-0 @ 160ft down to 130ft. It's only $380. Between that and getting some nice EBG front pads and rotors you'll be set.... That what I'm planning on doing

start by bleeding the brakes. If it hasn't been done in awhile, you will notice a huge difference.
