Re: Why is drum to disc called an upgrade?

I have a 67 Pontiac with power drums all the way around and if the car is moving, you are also contemplating the next stop. It's a whole different way of driving! I also have a 67 ford with power disc conversions all the way around...it stops real good compared to the Pontiac. In fact, the Pontiac will lock up the brakes for emergencies, but your back side will be out of the seat under the pressure you have to apply and the urgency involved causes a strong knee jerk reaction, once she stops...you start breathing again. It will get front disk brakes with the next going through.
