Re: Why is drum to disc called an upgrade?

A nice big pair of drums on the rear will do a great job as a parking brake. Other than that, IMHO discs are better in every way, especially up front. Some will say that a well-adjusted drum setup works just fine, and if it works for them, that's fine with me. But after 50+ years of driving and several vehicles with drum setups, I'll take discs any time, for reasons posted above.
