Rear Drum to Disc Conversion kit questions.

Im confused, thread started about rear disc swap, and seemed to veer toward a front swap and then back to the rear again. What are you guys doing in the front?

Discs are far superior to drums, better heat dissipation, a lot more resistant to brake fade and pad changes are a 10 minute thing.

The only disadvantage to discs over drums is surface area. Drums have a larger surface area which is why most 18 wheelers have drums because they need size over efficiency.

On our trucks, discs should be much better than drums.
