I'll agree to disagree, there is likely no chance it was apple to apple comparison because disc rears upgrades are usually offered on the upscale models with different shocks, springs, wheels and tires, and those were likely the cause of the difference, not the rear discs. especially in a panic stop where 90% or more of the braking is done by the front brakes, weight transfer is forward and drum or disc can lock up with even the smallest portion of brake energy.
