To boost or not to boost...that is the question.

I converted from manual 9" drums to manual 73+ 11" A-body disks. It takes a lot more foot pressure to reach maximum stopping power than it did with the drums. But as you would expect the disks don't fad and ultimately have a lot more stopping power.

Around town at low speeds the initial bite of the drums is better than the manual disks because of the self energizing feature of the drums but I do not find the not having the booster to be an issue.
