Re: The Official Debate thread
I know I'm going back to a previous debate but would someone please explain why you would even think of doing this?

Re: The Official Debate thread
To get the wheels in this far, you woulddnt have any space for the gas tank left over as that beam is about a 8 incher most probally.

Re: The Official Debate thread
my vote is for disks!
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

Re: The Official Debate thread
A good set of adjusted drums is good,but it doesn't last as long.The main reason for people changing to discs is the constant adjusting required by drums to keep them good.
The other reason is,especially with hotter engines,that they don't stop the car that well and heat up too quickly and keep the heat inside which makes for bad fading and even failure.I have seen brake linings come off after continous high speed use.
The cooler brakes stay,the better.
