Disced
muddyweb:
The water drains off the disc far more quickly than it escapes from a drum, so you don't get the same severity of problem.
Don't get me wrong.. I'm not knocking Drums, they have their own advantages.....
Rustyrover:
....Although not often when used for a transmission brake :wink:
Spyderman:
I think Rocky Mountain do a kit for about £700. More than I paid for my whole car. if you look after the drum brakes they do a good enough job.
p4203:
probably a daft question :oops: but did any ever do a drilled drum to let the water out or something like it ,i wouldn't fit discs cos of the cost but when the drums were full of water the other week scary stuff for the first quarter mile or so
Spyderman:
The water does pour out of the drums instantly, it's the fact that the drum face and the shoes are wet that causes the lack of braking until they dry, thereby increasing the friction again. When I have been off road and through deep muddy water I always rinse the brakes to remove the fine particles of grit from the inside of the drums else they quickly damage the drums.
