Disc ideas

Here's the thing ( coffee talk more or less ), If drum brakes wouldn't stop cars, these classic cars wouldn't be here today. Huge dump trucks, elevator cars, you name it, drum brakes stop it.
The main advantage of disc brakes is straight line braking.
Fewer moving parts = more reliable plus cheaper to build and maintain. Thus they eventually became standard at all 4 wheels.
So long as replacement drums and other parts remain available and the brakes are maintained... we stop. Disc brakes is a upgrade any way you slice it but upgrades aren't always required. More often desired.
Todays disc brakes in general... antilock controlled at all 4 wheels. We only wish we could upgrade that far. A bit of trivia here... What profession took the greatest advantage of, and put the most faith in, the first generation antilock brake system? Big city taxicab drivers. Once the word got out, everybody just had to have.
Big red calipers, drilled and slotted rotors, is the eye candy factor when the wheels will provide that view like a tinnie wennie bikini. Personally... I like a tinnie weenie bikini in the right setting. However I don't like looking at those brake parts or brake dust on wheels ( dirty bikinis LOL ).
The engineers state that the Brimbo like brakes are required on their high performance models. I don't argue with them. After all, a big ol' 18.5 inch brake drum behind a 20 inch wheel would still have the drum brake short comings.
End of the cup, The very least expensive basic disc brake upgrade should provide their advantages.
