your drums likely have more braking "power" than a disc setup. it's just an inherent part of their design.
i suppose you could listen to him if you wanted to, though.
-a car from the factory is set up with a lot of front brake bias
-going to a 11" front rotor will increase brake torque substantially, thereby moving the brake bias considerably (more) forward
-a track car with a race suspension will be lowered, thereby reducing the weight transfer to the front and allowing the rear to have more grip under braking.
even on a fwd shitpile that has all its weight hung over the front axle, you are still moving the brake bias way too forward, and thereby not utilizing the rear tires much at all under braking
So explain to me mikey how in your little universe this is a-ok and doesnt result in longer stopping distances
