Re: Why is drum to disc called an upgrade?
Four wheel drums were fine when everyone was running them.
The problem nowadays is that if you are running drums in heavy traffic or in poor conditions you might feel safe, if you are attentive. Well, just wait until someone with discs cuts you off and then slams on the brakes one car length in front of you.
My 1970 still has four drums and I keep saying to myself, would you people see what I am driving, does it look like it stops on a dime? But new drivers who are cutting you off don't think that way, they assume everyone can stop as fast as they like.
