    would be a lot of re-engineering, and I'm hoping rebuilding the existing brakes will cut the drag down hugely again.

    Running a higher tyre pressure will help reduce drag as well. This is easily measured on a dyno. Get rid of any excess braking power you don't need. Drag from discs is bad enough to warm the discs without use.
