would it be cheaper to get a disc brake conversion kit or would u be able to find an 03 and up axel in a junkyard? im lookin to put disc brakes on the rear for my r/t those damned drums are pissin me off
Those drums do suck! You would think they would have been all gone by the '90s. The conversion kits I have priced are about $800.00 so the bone yard would be cheaper. Hope I find one on Sat.
umm just to let you know idk if its just my dads truck, but both my truck, and my moms d have rear wheel drums and they have alot more stopping power than my dads truck w/ the 4 wheel discs, they seem to lack the stopping ability of the drums, at least w/ the drums you can stand the car on its nose if you need to, if i ever had to stop short w/ my dads truck i dont think it would work out to well
A good observation, Enzo Ferrari said it was simple math-the drum braks have a grater swept area- and rested using them for many years. But more so there is a reason Vipers, Vets, eaven all aircraft, and other such come with disk they do work btter, especialy when wet!
