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.
Thats my whole point, the master and prop valve are not being changed when you "just upgrade to 11" fastbrake setup" so you are in fact screwing up brake proportioning, moving your brake force to the front, and under utilizing the rear tires, resulting in longer stopping distances.
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.
