Default rear disc conversion question

i just read that the new xbs have rear disc is this correct? if so would the rear rotors slip over our 1st gen hubs because that would eliminate the ebrake problem and you could possibly get by withough having to make your own caliper mounts. its just a though and i am planning to have the rear disc conversion done by mid summer maybe sooner if this would work. i know it is purely aesthetic to upgrade but i am doing extremely open 19s and this would look so much better. hopefully someone has an answer so i dont have to waste money finding out i am wrong.

or you could wait for the Willwod rear disc swap for our cars which will have a parking brake in the caliper.

Thats awesome!!! i was looking into them at one point and decided to hold off since they had no abilities at the time to have a parking break built in. Any ideas of when they will come out with this??

i saw a post on the forum from a long time ago and it said something about a willwood kit but i never saw anything else about it? is it coming out anytime soon? i imagine it will be kinda costly though which sucks. i am looking for a cheaper alternative if possible that is still safe and i am going to be doing it at the same time as my air so if its out by mid june and not extremely expensive i would love to go that route. thanks for the info if you find out when it is coming out let me know.

anyone else know if there is a chance the new xb rear disc could be converted to the 1st gen.
