rear disc concersion on a alero without ABS

Looking for opinions, my 2003 v6 coupe does not have ABS. The sensors in the front hubs just plug into a plastic cap. Would it be any benefit to convert the rears to disks? I have had to panic stop for things running into the road and it locked up the tires on dry pavement at 55.
Thanks!

My 03 was non abs with drums in the back and I locked the brakes up a few times.
My current alero is non abs with discs and I haven't locked them up.

I think its worth the swap.

Try not to stomp on your brake pedal too..

No wires, no problems. It will still act normally, just lock up if you slam on your brakes and don't pump. I still say go for it! Makes a world of difference.
