As far as I am concerned disc brakes are the way to go. I have a 1976 Gremlin with drums it does not stop very well ( I don't think iit does anyway). disc brakes are cheaper to maintain too. for the 1972 Gremlin V-8 front drum the wheel cylinder was $60. no way! drums are grabby &they overheat easly too. disc brakes for me thank you.
