Dumb Brakes

I have to chime onto this drum versus disc brake
thing. The subject has been dealt with before but
since they were labeled dangerous I need to edjumacate
you. The feds required discs to be standard on all
cars on the front. Drums are not dangerous if kept
adjusted and in good repair. 


<>  Drum brakes & the compounds used for linings,
when wet or when grease would bleed out , or a spring
would let go, or a cylinder leaked,  were putting people into the 
other lane,
into trees, into guard rails and into holes in the ground.

For the mass majority, who are not tinkerers, with Kevlar
linings, drilled backing plates etc.......... there
are many more alive than would otherwise be if drum
brakes were still being pumped out of Detroit.

Drum brakes are crap, shit, dangerous, lethal and stupid.

In our neighborhood in Mass. , we lost a friends Mother
to those pieces of crap > on a new Oldsmobile > sent
her into oncoming traffic when the left front locked up.

So, as to badmouthing drum brakes, yes, you'll catch 
it from me 24/7/365 and them some.




Now granted I kept the discs on my AMX as I drive that
harder, but I am not hesitant to take my drum laden
"death mobile" anywhere my "safety car" will go.
It all depends on what you need the car to do.....Russ
