Rear brakes for my Locost

I am going to fit the Wilwood Powerlite kit for the front brakes of my Locost.
What do you suggest for rear braking?
I just don't want to fit Sierra's drums.
Is there any rear brake kit out there?

I guess it depends on how far ony you are with teh build and whether you have diff and drive shafts etc already but why not Sierra discs? Or more Wilwoods?

I am gonna use Sierra diff and driveshafts.
The problem is that i can't find Sierra rear brake discs on rallydesignwhere i will buy the majority of the parts i will use.
Do you know where can i find a Sierra read (disc)brake kit complete with calipers?

You can get hold of a second hand set easily enough off Ebay although not sure that most would post them out to you in Greece?? I got some re-furbed ones from www.biggredd.co.uk NTDWM but they are pretty good.

Thanks (to MikeR too)!
Are the listed prices referring to one caliper or for a pair?
