First Project on the new dart Scarebird Conversion?

Totally agree, I don't want any surprises, especially with my wife driving might be cheap piece of mind.

So all things being equal; properly adjusted, good condition, dry and cool, will the disc and drums both have equal stopping performance with the same pedal pressure on a non-power setup?

I just bought everything to do the Scarbird conversation on my dart. I'm doing it more to insure I have consistent stopping power. While I've never personally experanced brake fade the last thing I want to do is experance it when I need my brakes the most. Drum brakes are more efficient than disks but they hold heat and as a result more suspetable to brake fade. To each there own but for me 375 for new drilled and slotted rotors with carbonfiber/ceramic was a great deal if you ask me.
