Re: Disc Brake Conversion

Maybe it's just me but tearing the brake system apart and converting everything to discs seems like an awful lot of (expensive!) work when an an hour with a brake spoon will get your drums working just fine. Yes, discs will stop the car in a shorter distance but, when properly adjusted, drums will stop the car just fine, too. If you're really concerned about braking safety, I'd look into swapping your current single circuit brake system to a dual circuit set up.

Oh yeah, and remember what your driving instructor taught you: keep one car length between you and the preceding vehicle for every ten mph you're traveling.
