I totally agree. While I used to like staying as original as possible, towing with a combined weight of over 11 - 12K and having to make a panic stop for some idiot in a commuter who cut me off was enough to get me on the upgrade path.

At the very least if you're gonna be carrying vehicles around, front power disc and big rear drums payoff big time. 4 wheel disc is cool but I wouldn't say a necessity.
Power front disc at a minimum though. I wonder if later C30 front discs would be possible swap?

Towing anything is stressful enough with the way everyone else drives these days. Being able to stop when I want and even more importantly when I need to has taken the "white knuckle" out of it for me.
