There are still some people out there that believe the old idea that '4 wheel discs' = good brakes. Oh dear..
|
as far as i'm concerned, 4 wheel discs = better than 1 warped drum 
a warped drum will probably lock easier than a warped disc..
there is also the other problem of the leading shoes in the drums enhancing the braking effect, such that the braking force is not proportional to the applied force.
whilst drums may be more efficient for braking in terms of input force, a disc will be far more linear in it's braking effect..
sure the fronts may do around 70-80% of braking, but if your rears lock first, you are rooted
