Ah,
back on topic, surely if the 9n had discs all round it should be easy to fit discs in lieu of the drums?, if the drums were a cost cutting excerise I cannot imagine them going to the trouble of changing the abs system, economies of scale and all that. I notice that there is an option for 256 discs on some polo's can you get anybigger discs for the 9n?, another 17 mil aint that much. IMHO.
