Installing discs wont increase the amount of stopping power. You can still get just as much brake torque on drums with a good set of shoes.
Discs have plenty of advantages sure, but if you're looking at ultimate stopping distances, its not one of them.
Going to a bigger front brake setup, as long as the master cylinder and proportioning valve are properly sized will not change the brake bias what so ever.
In fact I never said a word about a drum not providing ample brake torque. Its all about the proportioning, reading ownz j00r azz.

Quote:You should know better than this - you cant reduce weight transfer. Its a function of weight distribution and Cg, and its always the same.wrong-o RJ, a lowered car reduces Cg, and therefore weight transfer. You thought I was referring to increasing spring rates, but I wasnt. Again, reading ownz j00.
