That's unusual, but pleased for you that it's better. Using small pads to do
the job of large shoes can lead to problems/inconsistencies - If it has a drum
and shoes for the handbrake, and discs for the foot brake I can see it would
work ok. Braking on the footbrake is unlikely to be an improvement on the
original because both systems will operate way beyond the limit of the relief
valves. It could be better if the original was way out of adjustment of course.
It could affect insurance because it's a modification. Yes I know that it's a
Kit Car, so therefore heavily modified anyway, but the insurance peeps like the
parts to still be as per the donor vehicle. As an example, years ago a work
colleague had a Ford Capri, to which he added side repeaters (as the more
recent models had fitted) - he revealed this to his insurance broker, and it
led to weeks of letters back and forth, because they wanted to load his
insurance because it was a 'modification'. Eventually he persuaded them that
he'd done it in the interests of safety, and he shouldn't pay more..... but it
was a close thing. I suspect putting disc where there were previously drums
could be worth asking about before the can of worms is opened!

Handbrake is actually much better - and why would it effect insurance??

No you are correct - Absolute waste of time/effort/money, and will probably
end up with an inferior braking system (certainly on the handbrake).
If you have a rear engined car, and are using it on the track, then maybe????
Kish - It will probably affect (adversely) that new insurance you have as
well.

I am sure I have heard people who have done this say it is not worth the
effort as there is not a lot of weight at the back end, unless it is purely an
aesthetic requirement. Come on somebody back me up or am I losing my mind?
