Brakes*

Dont bother with drilled, avoid them. As they crack easily.

Theyre only rear discs, just get cheap solid discs. No point in going all out on some rear discs. They do hardly any braking and i personally prefer less braking from the rear i much prefer drums at the rear tbh.

If they NEED replacing due to being worn then do replace them, but solid discs are more than adequate. You dont want or need to much braking at the rear. Think about on a push bike, you lock up the rear wheel and you skid and its possible to loose control. Its easier and you have more control with better front brakes but you have to know how to brake properly obviously.

No problem. Also if the rear is braking quite heavily and not balanced with the front....and left and right rear braking on saxos often are not equal, so youll have a heavier brake on the right than left making you go into a spin, better brakes at the rear will exagerate this and make it worse. You can make them even btw but in case they aint.
