Re: Why is drum to disc called an upgrade?

I just ran new lines to the rear of my truck, because i could not "Lock Up" the brakes no matter what I tried. The rear hose was old and swollen. Now I can easily stop and "Lock Up" the brakes. I have yet to drive in wet conditions so I'm not sure how 4 wheel drums will. The performance I've notice thus far seems comparable to disc on every other vehicle I've owned, but I've not been on any road trips or drives longer than 15 miles at a time.

From what I've seen after replacing the lines and hose I'm content with drums. When I the truck the first thing I though of was putting disc on the front, then I realized the drums were not operating properly. Currently it would be one of the last things I'd consider doing. There is a long, long list of things this truck needs more, including rust repair.
