In the end, either set-up will work and only you can decide how and where to spend your money.

You know, if it didn't cost more, everyone would go for the outboard rear and the six pin drives -- no question about that. But I don't know how much more they actually cost. The last time I looked, ERA had reduced the margin between the standard rear and the outboard rear down so low that it made it hard not to go with the upgrade. I know that in threads past, we've gotten hung up on the
"if I go with the outboard rear, then I have to have the bigger rear brakes, which means I have to have the bigger front brakes, which means..." but I don't know if we really knew what we were talking about.
If I wanted the outboard braked rear, instead of the standard rear, and the six pins, instead of the cheaper stuff, what is the minimum margin increase in my costs that I can do it with?
