should you switch brakes

some one told me i should drop the drum brakes, and convert it to disk,
what do you guys think?

i got a 73 merc comet with 302 V8

 

Absolutely positively...

 

Its got my vote. Probably one of the best upgrades you can make.

 

what he said^^^

the hardest thing i had to drive ever was a falcon with manual steering/brakes
and all DRUM

if you have the $$$ go disk on all 4

 

Definately do it! I'll be doing it to mine one of these days when I have the time..

Drums and manual steering aren't that bad. Then again I guess you get used to them after a while. Should have seen me about throw my brother through the windshield of my mom's 02 Taurus the other day. I hadn't drove anything with power discs in a while...

 

ok now that i have your vote, were can i get a kit for that?

 

Have fun in the junkyard... or ebay.

 

Im with him on that. the kits they sell for front disk are about 500 for everything you need to do after market style conversion, i found all my parts in a junkyard and even had the disks turned and bought a new master cylinder for less than 200. (gotta love half price days at PNP!). It all was off a 74, factory instead of improvised.

 

I put manual disc brakes on my 73 Comet (302). I bought a 74 Comet 4dr (302) for $200 & swapped them out. Then sold the Comet 4dr for $200 & a 73 Comet GT (302). Deals are out there. Keep your eyes open. They show up (disc) on Ebay once in awhile. Best upgrade I ever made to the car.
