I have an 89 KE Laser and the brakes are s**t. Everything is in good working order discs, pads,linings, lines ,no leaks , wheel cylinders are OK, fluid changed recently,bled properly but they are stil crap. I guess they came like that back in 89 but without spending a bomb I would like to improve them. I have not heard any real good reports about swaping the rears for discs and thats a bit too expensive anyways. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Id say you could just go some real good brake pads. Lasers dont weigh much anyway so dont think ud really need rear disc brakes. Maybe a different type of brake fluid? Are they adjusted properly. Usually they will get adjusted at services.

remove the calipers and take the mounting slides out of them. sand this with wet and dry. re-lube with high temp grease and replace seals if necessary. make a huge difference when the caliper can slide properly. go nuts

You can change over everything from a FWD Turbo KE TX3, bolts straight on and you get bigger everything. Won't break the bank either.

If you're looking for more than two good stops, you'd be best to speak with your local reputable brake station about something more suitable...
